The difference between the Mandatory Medical Plan and coverage that has zero cost for the member is the center of the issue for the new scenario that is approaching where prepaid medicine companies will be able to enter the workers’ health business in relation to of dependency that unions monopolize today.
The head of the Mutual of Private Oil Employees and Workers, Meopp, Guillermo Pereyra made the difference when asked regarding the role that union social works will have in deregulation, following clarifying that what is allowed is for prepaid companies to expand their businesses . He mentioned that the Obra Social de Petroleros Privados, Ospepri, assists oil workers with 100% coverage for medications and specialties, and that this coverage in the Mandatory Medical Plan is much lower, for example it covers 40%. in remedies.
“We cannot wait for political ups and downs, we have all the conditions to compete with prepaid companies,” Pereyra launched at the event in which he signed the purchase of the Comahue Comahue Comprehensive Medicine Center clinic, Cmic, from the Córdoba family. The union, the mutual society and the oil social work will pay regarding 4 million dollars for the property located in the heart of Neuquén. It will continue to be administered by the Cmic and when the towers built by the oil tankers are finished, medical and international care will be transferred there. The central location will remain as a real estate investment.
“It will gradually be integrated into the clinics we have in Catriel, Rincón de los Sauces, Plaza Huincul, Chos Malal,” said the leader.
Javier Milei’s Decree of Necessity and Urgency enables prepaid medicine companies to enter the health business that unions have. “The health system of the social works is already deregulated,” clarified the oil leader in reference to the fact that currently a worker in a dependency relationship (not in the State of Neuquén) can choose the union social work that he wants. In this case, the mother union keeps a percentage of the contribution and the contribution.
In the act of purchasing the clinic, there was talk of specific benefits that have to do with dentistry that are enabled in their own properties in the city of Neuquén “at zero cost” for the member who, in addition to having a percentage discount on their salary It can also improve the benefit with the mutual.
Pereyra spoke wonderfully regarding the oil social work, but clarified that in the event that another non-oil worker chooses coverage, they will be covered by the basic and mandatory benefits plan governed by the Superintendence of Health Services.
In principle, provincial social works are not included in the deregulation
National measures and the worker
The head of the Mutual of Private Oil Employees and Workers, Meopp, Guillermo Pereyra, stated that the measures contained in the Decree of Necessity and Urgency of Javier Milei “will have little or no effect” on oil workers. He clarified that the achievements of the sector were reflected in Collective Labor Agreements “and that is assured for colleagues.”
When asked regarding the Income Tax, he said that they had achieved it following several struggles, although now “we are in a bankrupt country, if we workers have to make contributions, we are going to do it.”
He admitted that he accompanied the candidate Sergio Massa and that “we all knew that this was very complicated, it has been going wrong for a long time.”
“The rope comes with shit and we have to grab it with our teeth, this cannot be fixed by throwing stones, but rather we have to sit at the table and hopefully the national government will allow us to discuss laws in Congress because there it gives us the possibility of dialogue between the labor laws,” he said.
