Under the patronage of Rodolfo González Zabala, a lawyer for Swiss Medical, the discussion about prepayments ended up being prosecuted.
An
amparo
was presented this morning
to obtain the authorization that allows the application of the intended increase
.
The claim before the courts was generated after the statements of Cristina Kirchner who spoke of the need to change the health system in Argentina.
The first to anticipate the legal action was the head of the Argentine Health Union (UAS),
Claudio Belocopitt
, who accused the national government of seeking that prepaid medicine companies are left without financial capacity to, in the next line, advance with the nationalization of the system. In this context, he announced what happened on Wednesday first thing in the morning, and it was that the medical companies presented an amparo before the Justice demanding that they be authorized to apply increases in the framework of 26,682, sanctioned during the first government of Cristina Kirchner and which is what regulates the activity.
With her public appearance and accompanying Axel Kicillof, the current vice president had referred, a day before, to the need to change the health system of Argentina as a whole.
As she had done in December of last year, and in the same geography (the city of La Plata), on Monday Cristina Kirchner proposed "to go to an integrated system between the three subsystems: public, social works and private or prepaid."
Faced with this situation, the medical companies, in a press conference,
denounced the serious situation that the private health system is going through in Argentina
and an urgent precautionary measure before the courts for the delay in fees that already exceeds 35%.
At 7.30 am, the lawyer for Swiss Medical, Rodolfo González Zabala, along with his partner Lucas Piaggio, presented themselves as proxy for the prepaid and accompanied the other health companies.
In this way, they will seek to be authorized to implement the increase
