The government of President Gustavo Petro will make another attempt with his health reform. On this occasion, he said, the bill would have an urgent message. However, several political sectors maintain that it is impractical, especially considering that there are only two months left until the end of the election period and the pension reform is still being discussed.
In Vicky en Semana’s room, congressmen Andrés Forero, Duvalier Sánchez and Heráclito Landínez referred to the government’s new attempt to reform the health care system in the country.
Representative Duvalier Sánchez believed that the country needs to discuss a health reform and improve the shortcomings that the system has. For example, he mentioned the existing barriers to accessing effective health programs and the excess of bureaucratic procedures.
“What EPS is interested in is delaying attention in the service, this has been shown in various studies. We must solve job insecurity (…), and widespread politics and clientelism in all EPS and public hospitals in this country, said the congressman.
He then continued to refer to the levels of corruption: “What has happened is that the regional gamonales, like in Valle del Cauca, where the governor Dilian Francisca Toro is, who in various investigations end up related or with power lines towards huge appointments around the health business . And who are the ones who have opposed it the most and end up presenting themselves as heroes Well, her own senators.”
In this way, Sánchez agreed that a health reform should be discussed “without the politics of those who think they are really interested in a better health system.” “It is false, they are interested in the current one to take care of their business,” he added.
Within the framework of the debate, Duvalier Sánchez clashed strongly with co-representative Andrés Forero and launched himself once morest his party: “The Democratic Center has no morals, it does not bleed to the face to demand from Congress that we cannot debate projects. ” of the government, when on December 2, 2006, former President Uribe asked members of Congress that while they are not in prison, please vote for tax reform.”

In response to the accusations, Forero replied: “His party (Alianza Verde) is the one that can speak the least because at this moment it is involved in the most serious corruption in the country (…). You say that those of us who are once morest the reform should have business with EPS or with the health system, tell me which business I have.”
“If you felt targeted, that’s your problem. “I didn’t mention you,” Duvalier replied, noting that he had first referred to the La U party “EPS financed congressmen and political parties, and now they defend these interests,” insisted the Green Alliance representative.
“You said that all of us who defended or opposed the Government’s health reform project were basically defending interests. But I say no, I don’t care. The EPS agreed with the government behind closed doors, and I do not agree with that text, because it favors the EPS,” replied Forero.
For his part, the representative Heráclito Landínez agreed with Duvalier Sánchez in the sense that there are currently “more lawyers appearing before judges to guarantee the right to health than the health system itself. This means that lawyers act more than doctors in the system.”
In the second half, he questioned how it was possible that campaigns for political parties that have seats in the Congress of the Republic, with health resources, had been financed.
– That is why we have to make a reform. How is it possible that the Congress does not want to debate the projects presented by the government? (…). We congressmen must be responsible with our functions and our constitutional powers,” concluded Landínez in the Vicky en Semana room.
