It must be nice to already have healthcare figured out, so you can move on to guaranteeing other citizen rights.
gosh, i bet education is covered as well.
aren't you glad to live in a free society where your partner can lose their health insurance at will, causing you to lose your house and force johnny to leave uni since your recent bankruptcy prevents you from taking out further loans to pay for his education?
an interesting step, for sure. how it's processed will be interesting - finland is pretty sparsely populated.
@holz: that is exactly what I was thinking. 1/5 of the population lives here in the Helsinki metro area. About 48% of Finland's population live within the 20 largest cities. The other 52% of the country is quite low density.
Guessing this is good news for people in the business of 3G+ cell networks. Ahem.
