El PSOE wants the Government manifests clearly before the plenary of the Congress of Deputies on whether does intend to take health care co-payment or not and thus his spokesman in the health field, José Martínez Olmos, will defend a non-legislative proposal next Tuesday before the plenary session of the lower House, which asks that undertakes and manifest way “expresses” about if going to establish the payment for which recipe in the autonomous communities.

In fact, the spokesman of the Socialists in the lower House, Soraya Rodriguez, already announced last Tuesday in a press conference after the Board of spokesmen, the intention of the PSOE in defending this initiative before the “ceremony of confusion” that his trial was issued from the Executive in recent weeks against the co-payment of health services.

Among other points, he referred to the abstention of the PP in the Catalan Parliament, in the vote on the payment of a euro for every prescription dispensed in the community last week, a measure which was finally released later for its implementation underway since June, while the President of the Government, Mariano Rajoy, “said personally that he did not agree”.

That Yes, warned that the Chief Executive said at the time that was not in favour of increasing taxes, and less income tax, and “was the first step that made when already assumed the Presidency of the Government”, he said.

In addition, warned that some autonomous communities governed by the PP Presidents stated that they would agree with the possible funding of the health system through the co-pay, other “ambiguously” implantarían it in the event that there is an agreement, at the same time other autonomous communities have claimed that now not. “that does not mean that a little bit later Yes”, said Rodríguez.

So, he asked, if the Prime Minister does not agree the co-pay, what he has to do is both unauthorize the Chairmen of autonomous communities of the PP have spoken in favour of this initiative, as well as the PP Catalan, that do not support the imposition of measures of co-payment in that autonomous community, or with its abstention or with its support.

After Andalusia and Asturias, elections to be held this Sunday, Rodriguez has denounced that the Government and the PP will take a battery of measures that will introduce the co-payment in health. “them are getting ready to put on the table after the elections”, it has been advised.

“why you demand the Government statement clear and I Express because we think that the financing of the national health system should remain public, and many measures of efficiency and rationalization of expenditure can be taken and does not involve a double payment for the users of this service,” reiterated.
