The block of Union for the Homeland summoned the Social Action and Health Commission of the Chamber of Deputies to debate the Government’s decision to cut the medication delivery free to retirees and pensioners affiliated with PAMI.
“Tomorrow at 11 the Social Action and Public Health Commission will meet to evaluate the inhumane measure of PAMI of the Milei government that has left without medications to millions of members without prior notice“, announced Pablo Yedlin, from UxP, his X social network account.
Since the period of ordinary sessions has already ended and opinions cannot be issued on possible bills, this Wednesday’s meeting will be merely informative.
This Monday, the Government announced that they will add requirements so that PAMI members can access free prescription medications, making fewer retirees able to access them.
In detail, from now on, only retirees and pensioners will be entitled to this benefit. who earn less than $389,398 (equivalent to 1.5 minimum pension benefits), and to do so, they must register online.
Deputies repudiated the restriction on free access to medicines for PAMI members
On his social networks, Yedlin had warned that “PAMI’s decision to limit the delivery of medicines free of charge only to those members who can confirm a critical socioeconomic situation puts at high risk the already precarious access to medicines for a very vulnerable group“.
“Is a mistake that will cost lives“warned the Tucumán deputy, president of the Health commission.
For his part, UxP legislator Daniel Gollan also questioned the Government about the measure. “The PAMI ‘Better Living’ plan that provided medications with 100% coverage was financed with the PAIS Tax and Milei/Caputo were not going to allow another source to be used when it was discontinued. More adjustments to retirees to fuel financial speculation,” he lamented .
The Cordovan Pablo Carro He also referred to the measure and assured: “The president abandons our seniorsmakes them pay the adjustment and requires them to prove that they need the medications.
In turn, the head of the Democracy forever bloc, Pablo Julianopublished: “Hey, Milei, point the chainsaw the other way, you have a fixed idea against retirees. Can’t you think of anything else? This is what happens when the country runs out of budget: Discretion comes and the old people always pay for it. “You want to see them spitting blood, they can’t defend themselves but they have children and grandchildren who are going to support them.”
From the Left Front, Nicolás del Caño stated that “Milei’s cruelty has no limits,” while Christian Castillo warned that retirees “They liquidated their income, they vetoed an increase of $15,000 and now they are leaving millions of PAMI members out of access to free medicines.”
The socialist deputy from Santa Fe, Esteban Paulon, spoke along the same lines, recalling that “when they cut the salary (of retirees) They celebrated it with a barbecue and not satisfied with that The cut continues by removing medications“.
