Housewives don't pay insurance premiums. As a result, they forfeit some of rights. A Labor, Welfare and Health Committee raised the problem. The NII assistant director said legislation was being prepared to address it. At this time, nothing further is known.

A Final Comment
Israel's current Knesset under Netanyahu is its worst ever. Repressive legislation threatens Arabs and Jews. Democracy is illusory, not real. Bad conditions worsen.
Civilized societies accept all citizens as equals, or should. Israel rejects that standard, even for most Jews.
Israeli Arabs never had rights. Increasing numbers of Jews are now affected. Wealthy and privileged ones prosper at the expense of others. Israel resembles America. Social justice and democratic freedoms in both countries are fast disappearing.
Recent and current Knesset legislation gravely endanger them. It's time for Israelis to rally again like last summer for social justice. Otherwise they may lose out entirely.
