The internal union of Together for Change became agitated this Friday, after PROFILE he will advance reform plan that the former director of PAMI Sergio Cassinotti prepared as a proposal for a future administration of the opposition front. Both space leading Patricia Bullrichas commanded by Horacio Rodriguez Larreta they detached themselves from the initiatives that proposed cutting expenses in medicines, social services and disability, among others, and isolated the former official, despite the fact that the order had been made by the former president and leader of the PRO Mauricio Macri.
Cassinotti revealed that Macri kept an eye on the health system almost a year and a half agowhen he asked him to put together proposals to stabilize the institute that manages the social benefits of retirees. The alarm arose before the imminent end of the decree that applies the PAIS tax, from which the organization captures 8% of its total budget. “In the face of an exchange order, this tax will no longer exist,” the former official clarified, anticipating that a financial hole will be generated in the coffers of PAMI to sustain benefits that were increased during the management of Alberto Fernandez.
The keys to the PAMI adjustment plan that Mauricio Macri had designed for JxC
According to the calculations made by the members of the proposal development team and led by Cassinotti, at the close of the change management delivered free to 700 thousand beneficiaries an approximate total of four million units of medicines; whereas, at present, that figure would have increased to four million beneficiaries, out of a total of five million, which would mean a volume of 11 million free units. “The goal is to return to the point we left off in 2019,” admitted the former head of PAMI.
Bullrich broke away from Cassinotti and was unaware of the plan
The first to react was Patricia Bullrichthrough a press release in which he clarified that Cassinotti “does not integrate the technical teams of the Force of Change” and does not know “the scope and objectives of said proposal.” Happens that the report sent to be made by Mauricio Macri adhered, due to political closeness, to the plans of the pre-candidate presidential campaign, but it generated strong discomfort due to the fear that his proposals would be tied to an advance of adjustments in the middle of the campaign ahead of the primary elections, where he will compete with Horacio Rodríguez Larreta for the possibility of reaching the Casa Rosada. He retirees vote is consideredclave.
“Our health proposal is aimed at ensuring that all Argentines have timely and continuous access to quality health services, reducing the regional and sectoral gaps that exist today,” they clarified from the Fuerza del Cambio space, where they also pointed out that ” specifically, with regard to PAMI, the mismanagement incurred by the current administration -many of whom have taken public status- will be severely audited and correctedbut always prioritizing health care for the five million of people who depend on PAMI”.
In Patricia Bullrich’s barracks they play with the slogan “Massa is Larreta”
Regarding the possibility of encouraging the reduction of affiliates to the social work of retirees, as Cassinoti had pointed out, the letter from Fuerza del Cambio states that their proposal to give him “proposal of freedom of choice at the time of retirementcollects the rulings that the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation issued on the matter, and will equate the rights of those workers who belong to the 211 Obras Sociales who reject them when they retire, with the rights of those who belong to the 80 Obras Sociales who do accept them at the time of retirement”. At that point, there is a coincidence with the former head of the institute. “Those who prefer to go to PAMI can do so freely”held the letter they sign Alberto Fohrigcoordinator of the government teams of the Force for Change, and Enrique Chiantorecoordinator of the health teams of that space led by Bullrich.
Rodríguez Larreta clarified that they do not support Cassinotti’s proposal
While, larretism prevented press releases and, in addition to ignoring Cassinotti’s proposal, he rejected Macri’s plan linked to PAMI. For sources close to Rodríguez Larreta, consulted by PROFILEthe statements of the former head of the social work of retirees are “in a personal capacity.” “It has nothing to do with us, and we do not support your proposal”, sentenced one of the direct collaborators of the Buenos Aires head of government. This way, the presidential candidate insisted on his differentiation with Macriafter having criticized Bullrich for having as proposals a plan similar to that of Cambiemos in management between 2015 and 2019. Cassinotti was precisely the executor of PAMI in a large part of the Macrista government.
Cassinotti told that was “convened by Macri at the beginning of 2022”, with the aim of putting together a proposal to redesign the health planbut in the talk in which PROFILE was present, along with other media outlets, the focus was on the administration of the social work for retirees. “PAMI is unfeasible”sentenced the graduate in Public Relations, who has a Master’s in Health Systems and Social Security, during a dinner at a restaurant in Buenos Aires.

In that conclave, Cassinotti clarifiedhowever, that the objective “is not to close or privatize PAMI”although he admitted that the delivery of 100% subsidized medicines and the increase in the capitabefore the access of new retirees without registered contributions, through the new pension moratoriumcaused the financial support of the social work of retirees is in danger. The concern is for his support, because the former official alerted about the hole that will be generated in the institute’s accounts by the end of the decree that establishes the PAÍS tax, which today allocates 70% of its collection to finance programs run by Anses and PAMI. For the latter, it means 8% of the annual budget. “If there is an exchange order, that tax will cease to exist,” he stressed.
