Spanish People's Party Proposes Healthcare Access Limits

Cadena SER Madrid 15d14d Impact 5

The People's Party (PP) plans to present a proposal in Congress to end the current universal healthcare access model. The People's Party has proposed a new healthcare model in Spain. This proposal follows a decree-law passed by the Sánchez government one month ago. The government's current model aims to prevent patients without healthcare access from developing serious conditions that require more state resources than primary care treatment. The move comes amid social unrest regarding housing and precarious employment. This proposal follows previous disagreements with Vox regarding immigration-related sanitary issues. This measure aligns with previous policy stances held by María Rojo. The proposal was not part of previous agreements with Vox in Extremadura or Aragon.

The proposal suggests that individuals in irregular situations should only receive medical attention in emergency departments. The People's Party (PP) responded with an amendment that excluded the concept, despite having supported similar language in a different text last week. The party argues that the healthcare system is overstretched and that priority should be given to legal residents of Spain. Critics argue that cutting access to primary care leads to more severe health issues that increase state costs.

“El Partido Popular lo que quiere es volver al modelo de los tiempos de Rajoy y que tuvo que tumbar el gobierno del peso de compedros sánchez.”

“Los populares dejaron fuera de los acuerdos con Vox las cuestiones sanitarias relacionadas con la inmigración... ahora recuperan esta idea de reducir al mínimo las instancias sanitarias a personas en situación irregular.”

“el Partido Popular... ha presentado una enmienda... en que se tiene que acabar con la sanidad universal, es decir que las personas en situación irregular sólo deberían ser atendidos en urgencias, esto decía Esther Muñoz.”

Cadena SER

“Vox quiere seguir estirando el debate de la prioridad nacional y por eso ayer llevó al Congreso una propuesta para extenderla a la sanidad, pero el PP se descolgó con una enmienda”
