The pulse started in Congress to pass health reform. Therefore, the Conservative Bank majority was the first to take a stand and distance itself from the initiative.
“As spokesman for the Conservatives in the Senate, I must be clear and firm in light of the health reform tabled in Congress yesterday. It is impossible to approve it as it is, such a drastic change requires a long process of technical, professional and social analysis,” said Senator Nicolás Echeverry.
Blue Congressman Miguel Ángel Barreto noted that the bank will not pass the reform without a thorough study and analysis.
“Colombia has one of the best health systems in the world. You have to build on what has been built,” said Barreto.
Nobody, Blel Scaf, pointed out that the lives of the Colombians are at stake.
The situation of the blue bench in the Chamber is also aimed at rejecting what the executive has proposed.
“The priority must be to move forward and not take steps backwards in our health system,” said Representative Ingrid Sogamoso.
They announced that they will review the text and propose a reform that will benefit everyone.
