Yesterday morning papers carried several leading figures expressing optimistic views about the start of the Family Health Plan (SFS) after their meeting with President Fernandez. Diario Libre today explains that the leading businessmen were invited to meet with the President, but not told previously that they would be asked to support the start of the plan.
Yesterday afternoon, spokespersons from a number of business and industrial associations spoke out to counter the impression made by the morning's headlines. The press conference, headed by Manuel Diez Cabral, head of the Association of Industries of the Dominican Republic and Maribel Gasso, chairperson of the Management Confederation for the Dominican Republic (COPARDOM), emphasized that the opinions expressed by such leaders as Juan Vicini, Jose Leon and Manuel Arsenio Urena, were "personal" and did not represent the stance of the different associations and other representative bodies. With members of the Free Zone Association (ADOZONA), and the head of the Young Entrepreneurs Association (ANJE) at the table, the spokespersons reiterated their call for a clear resolution of the issues that have stalled the start up of the SFS for so long. The management groups said that, "the main problem is the fact that no one has explained how the services will be provided to the workers and their families." Maribel Gasso said "we still do not know the details of the start up or the insurance plan."
