This group criticizing the Privatization of Health
The Confederation of Municipal Health Officials (CONFUSAM) expressed their rejection of the measures announced by the Presidential Commission on financing health and medical leave, claiming, “Its staging forced to call on citizens to mobilize.”
On increasing to 8% of the compulsory contribution for health, and increased spending by the concept of medical leave, the group said that the practice of these initiatives would mean “a serious economic harm to the millions of workers and the country “.
In addition, they criticized that this will give a “giant step toward a goal that is one of the dreams of the prophets of the market, many of them members of the current government, namely, the privatization of health.”
“The proposal to increase the contribution rate for health, in the end clearly points to keep absolving the state from its responsibility, charging more and more people the cost of public system”, entered the press release signed by the leader trade union body, Esteban Maturing.
On another line, the document also criticizes on medical leave “appears as a clearly opportunistic raise the possibility of punishing those who by reason of illness are seen in the obligation to rest and, of course, would be a tremendous setback to reproductive rights and child care.”
