The nationwide abstention of microbiologists, even 100% in lots of areas, is only one instance of the final dissatisfaction with authorities coverage within the well being sector. Obligatory refunds by means of the clawback and rebate measures attain 50% of the price for the diagnostic checks of EOPYY insured individuals. Thus, the nation’s laboratory docs are experiencing extreme survival issues as a result of measures that ought to have been abolished a few years in the past.
Nonetheless, within the earlier week’s assembly with the Minister of Well being, the disdain with which the Mitsotakis authorities treats the small microbiological laboratories, whereas opposite to its insurance policies it serves the pursuits of the big diagnostic facilities, grew to become obvious. The minister confirmed no inclination to reply to the docs’ requests and referred them to the Ministry of Nationwide Economic system and Finance. On the identical time, he’s making an attempt to silence them by activating the lately handed article 69 of Regulation 5102/2024.
In keeping with the mentioned article, the refusal to supply companies or to hold out referrals to beneficiaries of EOPYY care
– even within the context of abstention or strike – can result in the automated termination of their contract. So both they may settle for the prevailing oppressive scenario or their contract with EOPYY will likely be terminated.
In the identical method, with indifference, apathy and cruelty, the federal government treats public well being and the welfare state usually. Lately, culminating in the previous couple of months, ND has been pursuing insurance policies that lead exactly to the entire dismantling of the Nationwide Well being System. It is a plan studied with the intention of strengthening the personal well being sector, massive medical teams and multinationals. And this on the expense of the NHS and its docs, who since 1980 have lined the nursing and medical wants of the Greek society, undoubtedly with the identified issues and gaps, however all the time a assist for hundreds of thousands of residents.
However this coverage was not stunning or unpredictable. Quite the opposite, it’s in line with the neoliberal ideology of the federal government and the service of the massive enterprise pursuits wherein it indulges. We’re steadily shifting in the direction of a dystopian social state, the place the ideas of the welfare state, the social state and the rule of regulation will likely be a factor of the previous. The upcoming European elections are a chance to reverse this course. The creation of a powerful opposition pole is crucial. And this could solely be carried out by strengthening the area of the center-left and the emergence of PASOK, the one wholesome political drive within the area, as a protagonist.
Moreover, PASOK is already, by means of its robust and efficient opposition, the one drive that ND known as upon to cope with by way of politics and never by way of life-style or populism. He articulates real looking options to on a regular basis issues – housing, to be actual – and leads efforts to make clear authorities scandals and cover-ups, such because the Tempe tragedy and wiretapping.
These proposals and efforts of PASOK have a optimistic response from the residents and that is evident from the continual and regular enhance in its percentages. PASOK has confirmed that it’s the solely sturdy, critical opponent of the federal government, and on June 9 the residents’ belief in it stays to be confirmed.
