The Legislators of the Interblock Together for Change (JxC), Dante Rossi, Carlos Briner, Walter Gispert, Patricia Botta, Gloria Pereyra, Sebastián Peralta, Héctor Jaimes, Alfredo Nigro and Graciela Bisotto presented a bill that seeks to repeal Resolution No. 0044/24 of the Directorate of the Provincial Health Insurance Administration (APROSS, the social work of public employees), which created the Solidarity Fund for Care for Emerging Diseases and Technological Innovation (FOSAET).
The objective of FOSAET is “to attend to expenses related to emerging diseases, prolonged treatments, innovative practices and technologies required by members and beneficiaries of social work.”
Through a press release, the legislators point out that “the initiative goes in the same direction as a project presented by Legislator Alejandra Ferrero days ago.”
It adds that APROSS ordered through Resolution No. 104 of May 13 of this year to extend the suspension of the application of FOSAET until June 2024 inclusive.
Legislator Rossi (UCR) expressed that “this project seeks to repeal the validity of the FOSAET, which represents between $3,892 and $6,296 for each member or direct beneficiary of the social work. The argument for extending the fund is “given the delicate economic situation that the general population is going through.” Unfortunately, this situation will not be modified immediately.”
Rossi points out that “the economic data indicate an acceleration of the crisis and an increase in poverty, which for the first quarter of the year reaches 55% of the population. According to data from the Córdoba Grocers Center, in the month of March 25% of Córdoba families felt hungry and 44% had to skip meals.”
He also argues that “the majority of salaries paid by the provincial public administration are below the poverty line. The delicate economic situation will not change and it is necessary to provide state workers with a general panorama that does not have this threat of latent collection of an amount greater than that already available to support social work.”
