1/3/2023
in the space of Vicky in Weekcongressmen from different political parties presented their positions on the controversial project that the Executive is processing.
During the debate, Wadith Manzur, representative to the Chamber for the Conservative Party, warned that Minister Corcho “has to listen.” “If you don’t listen, your reform will sinkand we as Parties -some from the Government, others independent and others from the opposition- are willing to build a reform that is not led by the Government and that solves the problems of Colombians”, he pointed out.
For Manzur, the objective is to solve the problems of Colombians, in addition, he took the opportunity to throw taunts at Minister Corcho: “If you want to continue in your idealism, in your political activism, you can continue doing it.. To tell the truth, it is a very frequent custom in this government, which repeats many things to citizens that they want to hear, but in practice they do other things.
“I am convinced that this is what will happen with the health reform. When the parties unify, raise a position, let’s find solutions to the problems that exist in health, The minister is going to have to give in and agree to the proposals that we are presenting”, added the representative.
“(…) There are no guarantees of anything, and the minister has to understand. We are not willing to give in, under any circumstances, to go backwards in a health model. We are going to protect a model without defending the EPS; If you have to end the EPS, they will end, but you have to build an insurance model that guarantees the health of Colombians”, demanded the congressman from the Conservative Party.
“History will repeat itself”
In turn, Senator David Luna, from Cambio Radical, accepted that he is “very pessimistic” regarding what the Petro government is preparing: “I believe that the history of last year’s tax reform is going to repeat itself. (…). We warned that this reform was going to be harmful for Colombians; today we are experiencing the consequences in the increase in the costs of the family basket, the increase in food and in the loss of employment”.
“The same thing is going to happen here, a totally ideologized health reform is being processed. Some are going to manage to make a few small changes, but what the system is really going to end up suffering is that the health resources of Colombians return to local politicians (…). That is why we are going to vote once morest it, if there are no changes, as we did in the tax reform. Here we are acting coherently, ”she warned.
Along these lines, Dilian Francisca Toro, director of the Partido de la U, commented that during the discussion of the tax reform, for example, “they fixed many things, listened to all the unions and worked with them.” In short, they “improved” the project.
Now, regarding the health reform that is in the pipeline, he refuted some accusations that have been made to the project.
This point was mentioned as an example of the work being carried out by the three parties (Conservative, Liberal and La U), “trying to build, making some proposals and eliminating some things from the reform, which make it almost unfeasible”concluded Dilian Francisca Toro in Vicky in Week.
