The break is in the EPS, how to approach positions?
The EPS can play a role in our process, and we’ve already determined that. What’s happening is we have a very clear idea that this shouldn’t stay a business, here we should be men, women, children and older adults who they have to provide a service to. Health cannot be a market.
Look at the difference between the United States and Canada. The first, the richest country in the world, has 40 million people who do not receive adequate health care, hence the Obama law. And you go to Canada and there’s a public system that caters to all of its citizens.
Let’s find a middle ground, we are not proposing a state system like that of Canada and most of the countries of Europe or some of Asia, which works properly. I worked in hospitals in Sweden for seven years as a doctor and it is a public service that works properly, and the service they provide to the prime minister is the same as they provide to the employee, to the humblest person.
That is not the case here, there are big differences. What would have become of Dr. Roy if he had been a farmer and not our President of the Senate, our man of peace, an absolutely intelligent and capable person; if he hadn’t had the chance to have an executive examination done and they discovered early cancer, or Gustavo Petro himself who turned out to have early stomach cancer? If they had been two ordinary farmers, they would be dead today.
That is the difference. Doing a gastroscopy immediately if you have abdominal pain is to prevent the disease. It’s not waiting until he has cancer to see if they can save him and give him a lot of chemotherapy that usually doesn’t work.
