Vox has defended this Tuesday in the Congress of Deputies a non-binding proposal (PNL) with which it intends for the Government to repeal the Royal Decree (RD) that guarantees public healthcare for foreign persons residing in Spain without legal authorization, and to ensure "national priority" in access to the healthcare system.
In the registered text, Vox maintains that the National Health System (SNS) is going through a "slow but steady decline", which, in its opinion, causes the right to health protection "of Spaniards" to be "increasingly deteriorated". The party links this deterioration to "massive immigration policies", which it points to as "one of the causes of this worsening".
During the presentation of the PNL, the deputy Blanca Armario stated that the "crisis of the healthcare system" is not "sudden" nor an "unexpected collapse", but the result "of the accumulation of wrong decisions, of the absence of planning, of mismanagement and of the ideological obstinacy of this Government".
Armario has also criticized that the executives of the PP and PSOE have allowed, according to her, that the health services of the autonomous communities be transformed into "different tourist destinations for foreigners", where they receive assistance "at zero cost without ever having contributed to the system, neither them, nor their parents, nor their grandparents", which, she has emphasized, ends up leading to "more taxes for Spaniards", who do not perceive their contribution in an improvement of public services.
"The diagnosis of our healthcare system is what we all know. We have saturation, deterioration, and collapse. Hospitals and health centers need more healthcare professionals and more medical professionals. But of course, they leave due to the contempt of this Government," the deputy pointed out.
Along these same lines, he has criticized the Minister of Health, Mónica García, for being, according to Vox, more concerned with the upcoming elections in the Community of Madrid than with offering solutions to the situation of the National Health System (SNS).
