TMC领导人Derek O'Brien敦促印度政府将医疗保险政策GST降低18%, TMC leader Derek O'Brien urges Indian government to reduce 18% GST on health insurance policies, arguing that it burdens the middle class. 他引用了中央部长尼丁·加德卡里的一封信中类似的要求, 指出保险透率低 (全球为4%), 生命 (75%) 和医疗 (25%) 保险政策之间存在不平衡. He cites a similar demand in a letter from Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, highlighting low insurance penetration (4% vs. >7% globally) and imbalance between life (75%) and medical (25%) insurance policies. 奥布莱恩声称，考虑到NDA在委员会中占多数，政府关于GST委员会无法改变税率的论点是有缺陷的。 O'Brien claims the government's argument about GST Council's inability to change tax rate is flawed, considering the NDA holds majority in the council.
