Curing the dead?

[NewsWhore]

Jose Ramon Fadul, President of the National Social Security Council said that he is preparing a document that will focus on the weaknesses in the current health care insurance plan, the SFS, and also said that he has information that the health risk administrators (ARS) are including the names of dead persons as affiliates in order to charge the per capita cost. Fadul said that the ARS are supposed to fulfill the requirements of the Health and Work Risks Superintendence (SISALRIL), but are refusing to do so. He added that the ARS are the entities that contract the doctors and that they cannot keep receiving the benefits they have been receiving up to this point while they present obstacles to the flow of the system. Fadul says that there are about 3 or 4 ARSs that don't want to adhere to the rules of the SFS and that they are bringing in Colombian health officials in order to try to circumvent the system. The Dominican law on this matter is based on Colombian laws. Fadul says that once the document is ready it will be published.
