This Tuesday the meeting of the Conservative party is scheduled to define whether they will vote on the bench for the health reform project proposed by the government of Gustavo Petro and to which they made proposals.
(The keys to the health reform paper that was filed).
From that meeting too it is possible to define whether or not they support the articles, which without their votes would be far from becoming law.
On the other hand, the meeting of the Liberal Party is planned for Wednesday. Despite the fact that César Gaviria, its natural leader, mentioned in a statement that they would present their own legislative project in the second semester, they will define if they vote positively or negatively for the government’s commitment.
These meetings take place after the paper was presented with the inclusion of some of his proposals, as the EPS are maintained under the name of Health and Life Management Entities (Egsv), but without the insurance.
(‘Health reform project includes ideas from parties and society’).
To that extent, the position of ‘the reds’ is closer to being negative, because they believe that it is due “strengthen insurance, without destroying or limiting the participation of the private sector in favor of the fundamental right to health” and, as mentioned by the Minister of the Interior, Alfonso Prada, the health system model, if the project is approved, will be mixed.
That is to say, the participation of the private sector will be reduced and the liberals do not agree with that.
If the two communities decide to vote on the bench, the possibility of the government negotiating one by one with the parliamentarians would not help them.
But if, on the contrary, in the first debate the requests of the parties are adjusted, the project would have the support of the Conservative‘the U’, Commons and part of the greens, and it would happen.
