THE BUREAU OF THE CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES
In the Policy Committee for the Rationalization of health expenditure, created under the Pact for Health, there have been proposals for months and shared some thoughts on various Communities autonomous in relation to various figures of "Copayment" by health system users.
himself Medical Association (WTO) considers that the scientific evidence of co-payment is more than doubtful.
Within the above figures would be included COPAYMENT HEALTH from the "euro per visit" France, the "ticket moderator" of Germany or the "shadow bill" of Belgium as an advance payment.
Apparently these figures copayment would be valued by the Ministry of Economy and some autonomous communities without involving the Ministry of Health, Social Policy and Equality.
The introduction of co-payment would adversely affect the free, universal and public nature of our National Health System.
Therefore, we present the following
PROPOSITION OF LAW NO
1. "The House of Representatives reaffirms its rejection of the introduction of formulas COPAYMENT (euro, ticket, etc..) By users of the NHS, to understand which would seriously affect the basic principles of the constitutional right to health as accessibility , universality and free comprehensive health care without, in turn, significant advances in the organization of demand, much less in the financing of National Health System.
2. The House of Representatives considers that there is scope based on the expansion of public budgets and improved management efficiency, as well as policy public health for the sustainability of the NHS, as part of a Pact for Health which players are the Autonomous Communities, the Ministry of Health, together with political parties and social partners.
3. The House of Representatives urges the Government to take appropriate measures in accordance with the Autonomous Communities within the framework of its powers. "
