Private health care in Spain is already in camino.¿we will consent?

Tweet sharing .
A few weeks ago dropped the debate on the health care co-payment, I imagine that to see the reaction of internet media, which, to be covering the war of Libya and the Japan nuclear power, have given due importance to a simple rumor on the privatization of the health system. The fact is that all the indications that the privatization of health care is on its way, no matter who governs the next parliamentary term. Again tries to take "Stupid" to Spanish citizens to make us believe that our health system is not sustainable when the reality is that our model health is fully sustainable.

Refers to the free Word when we talk about public health, when really free it has nothing, since her we are paying all the taxes. Us refers the brilliance of the American health care system, when precisely it is not brilliant.

According to recent data, in United States there are about 60 million people who have no access to the health system and every year there are thousands of deaths that could have been avoided had received adequate attention.

United States live that pays and dies which may not pay, that is the only reality. That Yes, the health system is a very lucrative for certain sectors business model, including private medicine and insurance companies, which are at the point of looking judicial day itself and day also. If officials of insurance companies not just in the jail is because there justice is also bought with money. Do we really want this health system in Spain? Are really what we to agree to do nothing of noise?

Already there have been the first cuts in public health and are already suffering the first consequences. Several newspapers published some cases of people who newly operated not have been admitted for lack of beds in a hospital and operations halfway because the operating room, according to the hospital, was occupied and they must wait to finish what they started. Specifically talking about a girl who should be operated in both eyes, and was only operated one. The other should be expected and this girl will once again assume the risks of being anesthetized twice instead of once.

At the time that between private health, everything will be a business, and as in any business will look for the profitability of the business. So that a business is profitable, is must choose well the type of customers looking for the solvency thereof, which would lead to a single "If you can pay for it, you can access".

In some communities has already in Office health adviser to the President of the private employer medical. Knowing this, and can have very clear health system that is going to finish incorporating.

On the other hand, I know a person who has a friend who knows a friend of someone, which assures us that certain companies have already reported that they expect to increase their business with the Spanish health system figures. Let us say that this "friend of a friend" is in the sector of insurance companies specializing in medicine private.

"5 Years ago I observed personally how a private clinic led by nuns, prevented from access to a person with a feint of heart attack, which came by itself in the foot to the hospital." At the same gate he was asked to insurance. In the absence of private insurance, had to call an ambulance to collect it from the door of the hospital and take it to a public hospital. The ambulance took 25 minutes. "Luckily the thing was not over and this man have come."

At that time I saw clearly what is able to make the economic interest (for not forgetting that a nun denied access to a dying). Do we really want that?
