The RD$1.8 billion per capita surplus that the Social Security Treasury collected from the Family Health Plan in its first four months of operation will be used to create a contingency fund to cover the unexpected costs of natural disasters, epidemiological outbreaks or inflationary cost increases in health coverage. The proposal will be presented to the Health and Labor Risk Superintendence (SISALRIL) and the National Social Security Council (CNSS). With the protection the new per capita surplus receives through resolution 147-07 and 149-07, the funds contributed by workers and employees will be enough to guarantee acceptable levels of revenue for the Health Risk Administrators (ARS), doctors and clinic owners, as well as enough revenue to cover the cost of coverage.
