The Health Reform debate has not started, but its prelude has been quite a show for the country, even the first lady who came to Congress, looking for support?
News Colombia.
The Conservative and the U parties have stopped the government’s Health Reform project, which has not yet been able to reach a debate in the Chamber and that to all the show and the pressure of these days, is added an invitation to ‘breakfast’ at the Casa de Nariño.
The appointment is at 7:30 in the morning of this Wednesday, April 19, in the Strategy Room, Presidency of the Republic.
In addition to Minister Carolina Corcho, the Interior Minister Alfonso Prada and the Labor Minister, Gloria Inés Ramírez, will be present.
This, because on Tuesday night when the debate began in the House of Representatives, everything ended in a mess.
In the end, the session was suspended, especially due to the recusal of congressmen. The Ethics Committee must resolve these challenges.
And from that debate that could not start in the final and that led to the invitation to breakfast this Wednesday, an enigmatic presence was added: Veronica Alcocer, first lady.
Some tried to point out that Congress “belongs to the citizens”, and others asked if in fact any citizen can go, enter and enter the corridors where Alcocer was.
The first lady entering the area where the congressmen were.
Until now, it is unknown with whom he met.
The Seventh Commission is scheduled to start sessions this Wednesday at 9 in the morning. There is the appointment but we will have to wait for it to arise again.
In the meantime, I ask the board of directors of the economic commissions: Why don’t they advance in the paper for the second debate on the Development Plan? Why have the sessions been adjourned twice?

The greatest opposition that this proposal to reform the current health system has encountered is that it is not returned to the regions, or to the “regional politicians”, is what is read on social networks.
The government responds that it seeks to make a fairer health system, “that the private parties stop partying” with the money of the workers.
“Not all the proposals of Bla U and the Conservative Party can be accepted because they return us to a world where private parties manage public money and the health of Colombians only to do private business.
Good luck.
