The N.A. And Other Things

Speaking of S.O.E. and other things.



I have not been forgotten P.

By naming the letter P, I always remember the lady who was telling the other in an argument, "do not make me call with that four letter word." In the end it said.

The SOE was compulsory health insurance, and not just when it appeared, was what became known as the insurance, and was originally intended for employees in industry and services. The agricultural sector initially remained on the sidelines. That must have cost the state money.

Officials did not belong to that system. Had not been invented yet MUFACE.

Until then, I'm talking about the second half of XX century, were paid medicines in pharmacies, officials continued paying them more time until it appeared that about MUFACE.

That was the beginning of the welfare state.

For those who could not afford was the Charity.

I remember Manolete when he died that he was given a medal of the charity and has since appeared in obituaries Excellency that were published every year in the journal "Cordoba", annually. This newspaper was the best and the only one published in that city, at that time.

Which fund the S.O.E. With contributions from workers and companies.

And so it has continued to date.

There are some indications that are not very encouraging.

a) In Catalonia, there are health problems because previous governments have made an excessive deficit.

b) In the rest seems to be that retirees do not pay for drugs and then give them to the children and grandchildren.

c) Foreign medicines are free, and send them to their countries of origin.

d) There is what is called medical tourism. Here comes to healthcare many foreigners, of course free.

Ultimately the costs are much higher than income, which seems to be exacerbated because many workers do not contribute because they do not work.

Here in Castilla la Mancha, the management by the rulers seem to have not been very satisfactory, we give three pieces of information.

a) The debt is the highest in Spain.

b) broken, or disappeared, or changed its name to the regional case.

c) The Board of Castilla la Mancha gave a guarantee of 130 million euros to a company ruinous, and in the future will have to pay.

Although it appears that they will win the elections.

They promise the welfare state. Who will win the medal. The handball team, maybe.

If the dramatic thing we could not take a joke.

A joke I found the intervention of the Minister of Defense on the news of this afternoon of TV1, when he said to the merits of the aircraft involved in this matter of Libya, which had "humanitarian danger." Since the label of humanitarian use it for anything.
