Some pay more money for their drugs than their share and others less

The system manages the percentage contribution of citizens on drugs continues to generate errors. Six months after the entry into force of the rule that increased the copayment pharmacist, there are hundreds of misclassified users: some pay more and some less than their share of their income level. Communities alert the Government to remedy the failures. Some fear, moreover, that the introduction of new sections, such as the Ministry of Health proposes to do now for those earning between 18,000 and 100,000 euros (now pay 50%) - further mismatch complex computing structure and repeat the numerous incidents recorded during the first weeks of application. Health ensures that errors are punctual and that its resolution is rapid.
With healthcare reform, the Government of Mariano Rajoy last April decreed a historic change: the pensioners should first pay for the drugs. Since July, covering 10% of these products, with a monthly cap of 8, 16 or 60 euros, depending on your income. Juan Francisco Gonzalez, Madrid 63, is retired for almost four months. But when the doctor prescribed several drugs just two weeks ago to treat a urinary tract infection, discovered contained in the system as an active worker with an income of between 18,000 and 100,000 euros. He must, therefore, pay 50% of the medicines. "I was surprised, but I paid it," he says. Gonzalez has put a claim in the Madrid Health Service, is waiting for that answer.
Holes in the system
The percentage that citizens must pay for the drugs were calculated with data from the tax return last year. So, if your job situation has changed, for example because they have lost their jobs, these data can be truly outdated. This is one of the holes that are expert system. Another is that the copayment is calculated per person and per household. Something that hurts large families-a situation that Minister Ana Mato promised solve-or multiple patients. It also means that in homes where the only income coming in is that of a pensioner who has several dependents, is applied to each of them the maximum amount of payment, rather than per household. That is, everyone pays the 8, 16 or 60 euros monthly cap set by law.
The rule only releases payment to people with non-contributory pensions, the long-term unemployed and sick-specific pathological conditions as those affected by toxic syndrome. Disabled people are only entitled to free medicines if they have known for 33% disability and if your case comes under a very strict law of 1984 which leaves out, for example, those with certain pensions. Thus, in practice, most must pay.
The Socialist Party on Friday filed a motion to amend the law to reflect copayment as one of the exemptions to people with more than 33% disability. Congresswoman Laura Seara, one that has developed, criticized the reform launched by the government. "It is a fact so reckless, that is generating dozens of problems."
The Ministry of Health, who directs Ana Mato, recognizes that there may be "cases of disagreement" with the classification assigned to citizens on their income, a cataloging codes is collected in a database, which crosses information from the National Institute of Social Security, Treasury and regional health services. Health explains that a circuit has been established for the devolved administrations to communicate errors, are checked and, if necessary, be rectified.
In Asturias is concerned that, six months after the Government put in place the system, errors still occur. This autonomy, which has appealed to the Constitutional Rajoy health reform in several places, including increased co-Health has warned of faults. Andalusia also one of the six that has used the law-that in addition to reporting to the ministry through the specific circuit, warned of disorder to the Government Office. But, errors, requires counseling spokesman, will keep giving. In Murcia, the errors are smaller than in the early days of law enforcement. This region has developed its own system to collect incidents.
In Navarra not detected an avalanche of cases, but his administration has found a system to solve until the state database the remedy. "When we detect a failure to classify that user in the lowest level of input that is not prejudiced by that error," said a spokeswoman for the Ministry of Health.
A M. Lorenzo, the code that gives the system does not disadvantage, but it irritates. The company made this Toledo several months a record of temporary employment regulation (ERTE) by suspending the contract with its workers for a period. Since then, Lorenzo and other partners are, for the system that manages the co-payment, long-term unemployed. Therefore, drugs are free. "I am outraged. My parents, seniors, and I do not pay. I do not know how they have become the norm, but is full of holes ", criticizes, considering also that the current crisis will produce dramatic changes in family income, for better and for worse, in very short time.
Health and Social Security-which impacts is limited only to manage the database-not clarify whether the classification of Lorenzo is a mistake. The case is similar to the early retirees: a concept that reflects the system. Many of them, regardless of the economic agreement that came with your company-recorded in the database as assets become unemployed. So when they run out of unemployment benefits, says a spokeswoman for Health, are free to drugs.
"We are meeting with very shocking cases," criticizes Alejandro Toledo, President of the General Alliance of Patients, which requires the Government to, since they do not reverse this action "unfair taxing the most vulnerable", resolved bugs . Toledo added that the measure increasing inequality between autonomy. Each system has been adopted and a deadline to return money to pensioners who pay more for their drugs, when they exceed the ceiling determined by law. In Andalusia, for example, fail to pay when you have reached that figure. In Valencia and Extremadura return it every six months. Many pensioners, in fact they have not yet charged. The co-payment and repayment of the stops are causing, as Bayle Marciano Sanchez, spokesman for the Federation of Associations for the Defence of Public Health, some pensioners stop buying drugs they need. The 17% of them have not taken any medicines that your doctor has prescribed them because I could not afford it, according to a study of this entity.
