In Turret one is “optimistic” about reaching an agreement on the rejected Care Act. Report that sources within the coalition.
Our political editors:
The C3 leaders, D66 leader Alexander Pechtold, Christian Union leader Arie Slob and SGP leader Kees van der Staaij have been uncomfortable in Turret at the top of the cabinet, the leaders of the VVD and Labour and Minister Edith Schippers of Health, various sources report.
There is still a debate tonight with Prime Minister Rutte on the crisis. PvdA and VVD have requested that debate. The timing of the debate is not yet known. The wait is also a letter from the cabinet. The opposition insisted earlier for a debate on the unrest that has arisen after the Voting out the regulatory reforms of Minister Schippers. But government parties VVD and PvdA held that debate still rather disappointing, because according to them, there was nothing to report on the care crisis.
That PvdA and VVD now want a debate is not for nothing. Thus the coalition wants to buy time and keep the Chamber satisfied, says our political editor Thijs Niemantsverdriet. Should there be an agreement between VVD and PvdA then also have the C3 parties – D66, Christian Union and SGP – approve the revised plan

What it is about
The VVD demands, startled by the unpredictable behavior of the Labour Party, which will guarantee the senators to vote for the compromise. But such a guarantee would not give the three – the difference with their principled opposition Tuesday is too large
As often happens in The Hague, is there any way sought in a text composition where both parties. it can live. About which there is now under negotiation.
Content, they more or less agree, but the three PvdA want to give their verdict as a new law comes to the vote. Thijs Niemantsverdriet said earlier today:
“From the dissidents confirms that they can not guarantee in advance that they agree on a new vote or with the Health Care Act. They can for constitutional reasons only do when there is a vote in the Senate. “
Adri Duivesteijn the last sleeper for the Cabinet, Linthorst and Ter Horst make their decision depend on him. That means that one senator has the power to make or break the government.

Who is Adri Duivesteijn?
The political career of Adri Duivesteijn (1950) is riddled with conflicts. In the late eighties, he had to resign as alderman in The Hague after a heated dispute over the newly built city hall. In recent years he made as a senator ever noisier his displeasure over the government. He believes that Labour leader Samsom too technocratic operates and the principles of social democracy squanders
Duivesteijn PvdA and the other two are the face become a growing discomfort -. In health, society and the Labour Party – about the growing power of the insurers. That gives Duivesteijn except the numerical need his vote for the survival of the coalition, also moral leeway in talks with the Labour Party summit.
Duivesteijn is a man of principles, and at the same time a lover of refined political game. You never know what you have to Adri, until the last moment, say PvdA. Exactly a year ago, he held the government long in suspense, when he threatened to vote against the living arrangement
