EDEK counterattacked, after the fire received by the party president from the former Ministers of Health, George Pamporidis and Konstantinos Ioannou, following the proposal of Marinos Sizopoulos for GESS and after yesterday's accusations of the president of EDEK against the president OSAK for “service of interests”.
It has become really tedious to submit proposals to improve the implementation of the GESS and strengthen its philosophy, and those who want to call themselves “defenders of the GESS” instead of studying our proposals and entering into a constructive discussion to correct its problems. GESY, all they do is shoot EDEK and its President every day “, notes the President of EDEK.
He adds that if with the same passion that he attacked EDEK and its President, they were trying to correct:
- The huge waiting lists in the private and public sector that reach up to 4-5 months, The fact that the multi-insurance is introduced through the back door with the existence of private hospitals that have a ward inside and a ward outside the GESS in violation of the legislation, That there are specialties Doctors who are outside the GESS but are paid by the GESS if they provide services to contracted hospitals, in violation of the law, The fact that there is a huge waste of public money since the budget of the GESS while it started with 920 million today only , 3 billion without a corresponding increase in the quality of care provided, That the public health sector has not been strengthened in equipment, and that it has not been reorganized to achieve its financial, administrative and scientific autonomy before the start of GESS with the result that today its viability is at stake, then it is understandable that many of the problems The issues facing the GESS would have been corrected “.
He raises the question “if above they are not bothered but they are bothered by the patient who pays contributions to GESS, not to enjoy medicines and laboratory tests because they are prescribed by a doctor outside GESS. Who are they punishing with this action? Doctors or patients?
“The above does not bother them, but it bothers them the taxpayer's money to be given to personal doctors when they actually examine patients and it does not bother them to be paid from the taxpayer's money the personal doctors on the basis of the list alone,” he continues. subsequently.
He emphasizes that “EDEK strengthens the philosophy of GESS that provides for free choice of doctor and hospital, global budget, single insurance system, and strengthening the public health sector.”
He concludes that “the timely submission of proposals for the reorganization of public hospitals, the revelation of Nicholson's incompatibility and the opinion that EDEK requested from the Attorney General on the agreements of the OAW with the private hospitals, are just some evidence that we are fighting for the patients and the strengthening of GESS. Others may continue not to submit proposals, to tolerate the perpetuation of problems and disrespect for the contributions paid by citizens and to shoot EDEK. We will not follow. “
