The Government of Cantabria (PP) will mobilize “all the means at its disposal” and will adopt “all possible measures” to prevent Muface mutual officials from joining the health care of the autonomous communities in the terms proposed by the Ministry. of Health.
The Cantabrian Minister of Health, César Pascual, has guaranteed assistance to these patients if their mutual insurance company disappears and has conveyed a message of “tranquility”, but has warned that for the communities “no one guarantees us the financing of this assistance, nor how “We’re going to do it.”
In the case of Cantabria it would mean incorporating about 20,000 mutual members to a system that, as he said, “is prepared”, but is already “very stressed”. Furthermore, he regretted that the central government’s proposal means “that we serve civil servants for less than a thousand euros, for less than a thousand euros”, when the regional Executive estimates that it spends more than two thousand euros per Cantabrian. “That is what the Sánchez Government offers us, that this community assumes more than 20 million a year in caring for mutual members.” “It is a complete botch,” Pascual declared in the plenary session of Parliament this Monday.
Thus, Cantabria has joined another dozen communities that have already requested by letter that this matter be incorporated into the Interterritorial Council convened for December 13, after the Ministry has released a report prepared after being deserted last month October, health coverage for mutual employees for the next two years by private insurers.
A report that, in Pascual’s opinion, the Ministry “has invented”, and that proposes the gradual incorporation – over a period of nine months – of MUFACE mutual members to public assistance. For the counselor, it is a “paradox” on the part of the socialist Government since it induces “co-payment” and private insurance for those affected, who believes that they will choose to “take out a private insurance policy to continue with their doctor from 30 years ago.” “.
The head of Health has expressed the opinion that This proposal “looks very bad” for both the central government and the PSOE of Cantabria, to whom he has questioned what he is going to defend before the Executive of Pedro Sánchez. “Let’s see where the commitment is with the Cantabrians and with our Cantabrian health system,” he added.
Finally, he insisted on conveying “tranquility” to those affected, “despite the fact that the Ministry of Health has insisted on the opposite.” “If we have to serve the mutualists, we will serve them,” although “we will litigate what needs to be litigated.”
