The Dominican Medical Association (CMD) has decided to keeps its affiliates outside the SFS family health care program. The president of the CMD, Enriquillo Matos, told reporters that any return to service would depend upon an open dialogue with government officials. Matos said he would return to the discussion table if Monday's scenario changes. According to Matos, 63 different organizations were present, all of which presented technical issues that did nothing to progress towards a solution of the major issues. According to the CMD spokesperson, the government did not listen to the proposals made by the doctors, partly because 63 other entities were clamoring for a hearing. Matos said, "It was sad to see the government's ambivalent position." The doctors are questioning the honorariums and the consultation fees proposed by the government as well as denying support for the previous health care insurers that will disappear, apparently, after 1 June.
