First we hope to read the decree that will be approved tomorrow in the Council of Ministers.
I hope there is no small print or other modifications that have not already announced, because in the labor reform there were some surprises that were later known.
What I would like to deny is a post published by the Diabetes.net website where they affirm that "the diabetics benefit from this new law, because before they paid 40% and now they will not pay anything."
The author of that shows no idea or lying deliberately.
I do not set a link for not advertising.
With the new reform, theoretically until we read the decree, the only ones that are harmed are the retirees, who previously paid anything and now they will have to pay.
Retirees will have to pay 10% for their medications either for chronic diseases or not, up to a maximum of 8 euros or 18 euros according to their rent;and 20% up to 60 euros/month if they have an income exceeding 100,000 euros annually.
In the case of retirees, it seems that the pathology they have, acute or chronic, and will pay 10% with that limit of 8, 18 or 60 euros per month.
Non -contributory pensions (people with disabilities or retirees without reaching the minimum price) will still pay anything.The new thing is that unemployed without benefit will not pay anything (here there is a social improvement).
In the case of non -retired (active) people, 40% contribution is maintained for income below 22,000 euros per year.It rises to 50% to an income of 100,000 euros per year and 60% to which they have income of more than 100,000 euros.
It seems that the reduced contribution of 10% will be maintained for medications for chronic diseases (that is, in our case, oral insulins and antidiabetics).
To date we have paid 10% for medications (no 40%)
It seems that the policy of not charging anything for medications or health products (pumps, reactive strips, continuous meters ...) that are dispensed in health centers will also be maintained.
We'll see tomorrow if we are surprised with something.
