The Manx Labour Party says it stands 'resolutely' with healthcare being free at the point of use and a 'strongly resists' charges being introduced or services cut.
It comes as Manx Care warns of 'unpalatable decisions' being made in order to balance the books.
The political party is calling for a renewed look at tax reform, saying thresholds for higher earners have been left untouched whilst workers bear an 'unequal burden'.
In this edition of Newscast, Party leader and DHSC Member Joney Faragher tells Manx Radio why the MLP believes Manx Care is underfunded, not overbudget.
