We broke up at the end of July and we voluntarily didn't wish them happy holidays because, this year, they have been a mirage for many.
A hot summer has passed, not only for pharmaceuticals, and full of concern for the release of the law on the additional discount that pharmacists MUST pay to the state.
With continuous twists and turns on the percentages to be applied, it finally found peace near August 15th, the date of its publication in the Official Gazette.
It was the “Yellow of Summer”.
But yellow still doesn't have an epilogue, even if nobody talks about it; perhaps because everyone is busy discussing the immediate subsequent decree of Minister Balduzzi who is eager to go down in history for having also given a name to a decree.
It matters little if it is needed, if it is urgent, if it has a logic, if it has a cover, if it has effective validity, in short, that it is everything and the opposite of everything but that it can be remembered in the annals as the Balduzzi Decree.
Just as Caligula wanted to nominate his own horse as a senator in order to be remembered!
But let's take a step back and go back to talking about the yellow of the summer and that is the reduction of the discount percentage from 3.65 to 2.25. When does it start?
From August 16th or August 1st?
Do you have to ask for a refund for the month of July?
Should the refund be requested from 1 July or from 7 July, the date of publication in the Official Gazette?
But these are small details of no relevance, so much who loses it is only the pharmacist who will see suspended payments from the month of August on the basis of the interpretation of his Local Health Authority.
We do not enter into the merits of the interpretation given by Fedefarma National, often in discord with that given by individual local federations and prestigious lawyers.
We are used to it now!
Let us return instead to the Balduzzi Decree, much announced, presented in "Great Pump" with a press conference at night, now in fashion for various sporting events such as the F1 or MotoGP Grand Prix, with President Monti nodding to the illustration of the esteemed Minister.
Forgive my stupidity, but I couldn't figure out what he meant, I realize it's my limit....., not Monti's though!
However I do not pose the problem, ... the next day we will find the final text ....
… frantic searches on all the sites, but the official text cannot be found, we only know that he has undergone a strong slimming cure; we are in the fight against obesity so it is right that i
