Enriquillo Matos, head of the Dominican Medical College (CMD), Pedro Luis Castellanos, of the Citizen's Forum and Rafael Pepe Abreu of the National Counsel for Union Solidarity (CNUS) said they will reject any new postponements of the governments health plan (SFS). Public Health Minister Bautista Rojas Gomez recommended that the health plan companies (ARS) abandon the health insurance business if they don't think it would be profitable under the new scheme. Minister Rojas said the government would not give in to any special interest group in its intention to get the SFS running by 1 September. Abreu and Castellanos seconded the Minister's comments by saying that neither the state, the government, nor society can allow interests and minority groups to deter the future of the SFS. Vice President Rafael Alburquerque said that the government will not allow the ARSs to assume individualistic positions that could delay the implementation of the SFS. He also said that measures will be taken to make sure that resolutions adopted by the Health Superintendence are not violated.
