TISA: trade and investment agreement in services READ AND SPREAD WIDELY! The TISA agreement involves substantial risks for the health sector. Commercialization of health is made irreversible by the TISA agreement. The TISA agreement also automatically implies privatization of future services, that do not yet exist today. This smothers the future public policy space in the bud. The biggest risk of health care commercialisation would be the creation of a two-tier health system. People with a higher income would be able to enjoy private, high tech and specialised health care while the poor would have to turn to the public health care. In short, depending on your salary, you will or will not have access to health care. This will lead to unequal health outcomes, even though everyone should be entitled to good health, regardless of status or background.
