Senate president Reinaldo Pared Perez has asked President Leonel Fernandez to keep aiming for 1 September as the start-up date for the government's health plan, the SFS. Pared says that individual interests are trying to impede the plan's entry into effect. He said that the government has the responsibility to ensure that the SFS goes into effect as planned.
Although the business sector as a whole hasn't given its full support to the SFS, three of the country's most influential businessmen Jose Leon, Juan Vicini and Manuel Arsenio Urena have openly backed the SFS. The business leaders met with President Leonel Fernandez and Monsignor Agripino Nunez Collado yesterday to discuss the latest changes to the SFS law recently passed in Congress. Labor Minister Ramon Fadul noted that representatives of the National Business Council (Conep) directors and other leading business associations weren't present at the meeting, but he stated, as quoted in Hoy, that the country could not be run by one sector.
