If there is something that strongly expresses the indolence of the ruling is related to the health of Mexicans. The collapse of the public system is already inocable. For seven years he has played with the lives of people. First disappearing popular insurance creating the failure Insabi, which led to the number of people with health lack growing from 20 to 50 million. In that same period, the criminal handling of pandemic (including the application of the ivermectin) that led to deaths hundreds of thousands. Then the occurrence of megafarmacy and health cuts which has resulted in lack of supplies, medicines, personnel and a lousy attention in public hospitals. There is a lot of talk of social programs, but it is forgotten that a fundamental right enshrined in our Constitution is access to health. Little monetary transfers serve if families’ pocket expense in this area has grown by 33 percent. That is, people spend more in health than invested before 2018.
Only between January and February of this year, the public health discharge collapsed by 33% according to a report by the newspaper El Economista. What can be a cold figure is actually the summary of the pain suffered by those who have to go to health centers. Even more serious, for this cause 46 children died for not being vaccinated against coughing or we see scenes like that of the baby whose life saved with a plastic bottle in the absence of the necessary inputs. Of course, instead of assuming responsibility for these cuts, the simplest is the director’s dismissal and the prohibition of cell phones to prevent us from knowing these heartbreaking scenes. Even the great institutes – another so prestigious – suffer from these cuts to the degree that, for example in cancerology, they do not have for reagents whose results are necessary before operations.
And in the face of these questions, the claim of the government is to silence the voices. Censor what is disseminated or wielded the increasingly spent argument of the popularity of the president. But with that the people do not eat or have medicines. Because they can say mass, but no one can hide that after seven years in power they have not been able to make a tender and guarantee what is necessary for the health of the people. This situation far from what they proclaim, has only benefited from private health. In addition, there is nothing more frivolous than talking about surveys when people live daily this tragedy. Or is it for something, the popularity of the president serves the mothers of more than two million children who do not have a complete vaccination scheme? Or to the mothers of cancer children who do not have access to oncological medicines? Is that argument to women in the face of women who cannot follow their treatments against breast cancer because there are no resources? Does that make the pain of the relatives of those who suffer from any disease more and do not find in the health system a possibility of fighting it? But they don’t care. It seems that they bet on death because, for them, the less donkeys more olotes.
