07 JUN – Censis recycles known data, we have known for some time that millions of people, of whom almost a third are elderly, give up treatment for economic reasons. We also know from Istat that as many as 2 and a half million families abandon treatment for the same reasons, plus the catastrophic costs due to illness that impoverish thousands and thousands of families, and also that only 8 regions guarantee all the Lea ... forcing citizens to resort to the private sector.
If we then wanted to continue with the list of humiliating things, it would be enough to add the hundreds of thousands of citizens of the south who seek treatment in other regions, the free profession of doctors which is a form of privatization of the public hospital, the subject of repeated investigations for fraud and tax evasion, not to forget the spending review which believes that healthcare is used in all sorts of ways. And finally…the Court of Auditors…which reminds us that there is a lot of corruption in healthcare.
Faced with this indecent picture, with Regions now without sovereignty always with hat in hand, with companies that have not understood why they were created, Censis participates in the welfare day to tell us that if we want to resolve these indecencies we need to go back to supplementary mutuals. Are we kidding? Apart from the fact that it remains to be understood how citizens who do not have the money to pay for medical care will manage, or how the unemployed, the precarious, the redundant, the pensioners at the minimum will manage ... apart from that ... but does anyone think that this gimmick is the premise for a privatization of public health?
That it is none other than the longed-for multi-pillar system of the former minister Sacconi's White Paper? Is it ever possible that Censis, Cern, Ceis, i.e. all these think tanks devoted to knowledge, together with out-of-pocket fanatic health economists, can suggest nothing but make people pay more, give them fewer rights, help the strongest, but above all, change nothing. Will supplementary mutuals be able to do more prevention? To rethink models of hospitals petrified for centuries? Changing the work of the operators? Make people count more? Rethinking companies? And the figure of the doctor? Breaking Down Defensive Medicine? Make room for renewed professionals such as nurses? No.. they are not capable. And how could they! Just as they are unable to moralize this corrupt public system.
Does Censis know that the models and functions underlying the healthcare system are still substantially those of the old mutual system? Are you aware that the family doctor, apart from the transition from the notula to the per capita share, is still substantially that of the health insurance company? Do you know that the hospital doctor is basically the same as your colleague who once worked full time and part time? Are you aware that the four founding functions, pharmaceutical, specialist, hospital, general medicine are organized and conceived substantially like those of 40 years ago? Are you aware that all operators are still essentially considered washing machines to be programmed with the same logic as the famous 761? Sa that citizens still define sa today
