00:00In the last few hours, the issue of medication
00:02ended up being an important deficit.
00:05Look at this.
00:31How much do you have to pay now, ma'am?
00:33I already paid.
00:34$130,000.
00:35Yes, yes, sir.
00:36Yes, sir.
00:37It's not fair.
00:39Old people have to be given opportunities to live.
00:42What they want is for you to die soon.
00:55The cut in the medication applied by the national government
00:58took the PAMI affiliates by surprise.
01:01They go to the pharmacy and find that what used to be free
01:05now has to be paid for.
01:10We are seeing distressing situations
01:12because the retirees have not been able to pay for their medication since Monday.
01:16The medication that was given to them for free
01:19has to be paid $40,000, $50,000, $70,000, $90,000
01:23and they are not being able to pay for it.
01:25All the medications for chronic pathologies
01:28that until December 1st had a 100% discount for all affiliates
01:34are now discounted to $80,000, $70,000, $50,000 for all.
01:46You are from PAMI, right, sir?
01:48Yes, but it's for my wife, the medication.
01:51And until recently, you got them 100% for free.
01:54Always the same.
01:55And now?
01:56And now, I don't know.
01:57Until last month, they gave my wife all the medications.
02:01Now she will have to register again
02:04to see if she has to pay.
02:07Exactly.
02:08And if she has to pay what she didn't have to pay before, what will she do?
02:11Will she be able to pay?
02:12Because there are a lot of people who left the pharmacy who couldn't pay.
02:17The problem is like anything else, but first comes health.
02:24Any medication today costs $20,000.
02:26If before you took it for free, today you are paying $10,000, $15,000.
02:31There are PAPs that are used for asthma that cost $100,000.
02:35And today, an affiliate who took it for free has to pay $50,000.
02:40It's a lot of money.
02:42I see you have a lot of invoices there.
02:44Yes, $51,000.
02:46$51,000.
02:48And what did you buy?
02:49Libotiroxine, circulation, sealant, calcium.
02:56Before they gave me a discount. Now I don't have a discount.
02:59That means I work.
03:01It's not like the pharmacy says it's all free.
03:05No, and now less.
03:07And now less, yes.
03:08And what do you earn in retirement? The minimum?
03:10I have the minimum. That's why I work.
03:13So you get a fifth of the minimum.
03:18And I rent.
03:24You came to buy medication and the social work doesn't cover it.
03:27They are a broken bunch.
03:29They steal and the old people don't get what they should get.
03:34How much do you have to pay, ma'am?
03:35I already paid this. Now I have to pay $10,000 more.
03:38Did you pay this? $130,000?
03:40Yes, sir.
03:42But you are affiliated with PAMI?
03:43Yes, sir. Do you want me to show you the card?
03:46I don't believe you. Why do you have to pay so much?
03:49Because PAMI doesn't give me a discount.
03:51My retirement, my pension and my son's pension,
03:54they all go to Remedios.
03:56The 100% is no longer there.
03:58Except for the one who has to do the paperwork,
04:00the one who has $390,000 and more, the one who doesn't reach $400,000.
04:03Exactly.
04:04And what do you think of the measure?
04:06Bad.
04:07Because they would have to get money from the people above them,
04:12not from the poor who don't have anything to eat.
04:15Those who charge more than $390,000,
04:17have prepaid or a car with less than 10 years of age,
04:21for the national government, they are part of the caste.
04:24Why? Because today the caste has PAMI.
04:321338, the report made by our colleague Marcelo Gerdinovas on the subject.
04:37Dr. Gamboa told me that this is going to generate presentations in court.
04:41Yes, it will surely generate a wave of health insurance
04:44because both consumer associations,
04:47as well as the official defenders,
04:50and there are also many places where free justice is applied,
04:53will receive hundreds of retirees' inquiries
04:56because there are medicines that are vital to their health,
04:59and especially oncologists are really expensive and unattainable.
05:04Generally, doctors derive you from these assistance centers
05:10to present health insurance.
05:12And the order of the judge lasts between 24, 48 and 72 hours
05:16for it to be granted for free.
05:18Well, we said or analyzed, Pablo, that this has been a deficit,
05:21the issue of a segment of society that has voted a lot for my law.
05:25It's the retirees.
05:26Yes, of course, obviously.
05:28Also, many voted for my law.
05:30Also, it is true that the strong base was more among young people.
05:34But what I wanted to ask you,
05:36with these issues were, I would tell you,
05:39the three strong blows that the government gave to the retirees.
05:43First, with the liquefaction of the first stage.
05:46Second, when it brings out the new mobility formula
05:49that gives a feeling that, well,
05:52now yes, retirement is being indexed by inflation,
05:55but that it will never recover what they had lost.
05:59And the third point has to do with medicines.
06:02What we are seeing in images are the queues of people
06:05who charged more than an average retirement
06:09and who received free remedies for certain pathologies.
06:13Those people went to the pharmacy 10 days ago
06:17and realized that they no longer had those remedies.
06:20And to be able to get them, they had to do a resolution process.
06:24Let me see what was recorded on the 24 mobile,
06:27in the row, precisely in the PAME de Morón.
06:30Listen to this.
06:35Some arrive with the medicines, others arrive with the bag of studies,
06:38others arrive, well, with many doubts too.
06:41How are you? Good day. How are you?
06:43Good day. Good business.
06:44Well, you came to do the procedure, imagine.
06:46Yes, no, they gave me to do a study.
06:48The doctor, two months ago,
06:50I came, they gave me the perfect order here,
06:53but they gave me two months to wait to do the study.
06:56Two months.
06:57So I come to revalidate the study,
06:59because if not, you don't do it to me.
07:01If you don't see yourself, you can't do it.
07:04Yes, yes, yes.
07:05Yes? Yes.
07:06How much of your budget, of what you charge for retirement?
07:08More or less 180,000 pesos.
07:10Oh, a lot, almost half.
07:11Yes, yes, yes.
07:13That's why you have to do the procedures.
07:14You have to do them, yes or yes?
07:15Yes, yes, yes.
07:16How is there another?
07:17Yes, I come for the first time because I went to withdraw the remedy
07:21and they wanted to charge me 50%.
07:26You had to pay 50% that you didn't pay before?
07:28No, no, I didn't pay, they gave it to me for free.
07:30And how much does that mean to you?
07:32It's a lot, because I'm a minimum pensioner,
07:35so I come to see what they tell me here.
07:38To see if they can cover the 100%.
07:40Because he told me to come here to do the procedures.
07:42Of course.
07:43What remedy did you have to take?
07:44For this, for the prostate.
07:46For the prostate.
07:47So it's essential for an adult, for you.
07:50Yes.
07:51I have four medications, she has five,
07:53so it's a lot of money.
07:55A lot of money.
07:56Until last month.
07:57Did you go to withdraw this month's?
07:58This month, no.
07:59No.
08:00I have to pay, I'm sure.
08:02I'm sure you'll have to pay something.
08:04You'll have to pay 389,000, I think,
08:07or 98,000.
08:09My wife doesn't pay, I pay,
08:11but I don't know, I'm going to do it anyway.
08:13You're going to do it because it's necessary.
08:15That's why I'm going to do it anyway.
08:17May God help us.
08:18I'm here to do the procedures for my mother,
08:20I'm in charge, and she has a lot of medications.
08:23And well, she's disabled,
08:26and the truth is that with the amount of medications she has,
08:29with what she charges per month,
08:31unfortunately all the medications.
08:33And you withdrew the month's and you had to pay something?
08:37Until the beginning of the month, she withdrew it,
08:40she had no problems.
08:41Now, with this new arrangement,
08:43I come to do, as they called it,
08:45a remodeling.
08:46Of course.
08:47So that she normally has the medications
08:49that she has every month.
08:50She has about ten medications,
08:53practically, because she has psychotropic drugs,
08:56plus another medication,
08:58and with just one medication,
09:01if I had to pay it, it would be around 100,000 pesos.
09:05And it's impossible.
09:07It's impossible.
09:08A lot of money for medication.
09:10How much did you spend on medication until now?
09:12Little or a lot?
09:13No, something like 40,000 pesos, more or less.
09:17And I charge the minimum, like everyone, like the majority.
09:21So if they take part of the subsidy...
09:23Of course, of course.
09:24It costs me, maybe I can pay it,
09:26but it's going to cost me a lot.
09:28Because they don't just take me out of this,
09:30they take me out of the gas, the water, the light,
09:33they take a little bit of everything.
09:35Of course, and with the minimum, it gets complicated.
09:37Of course, that's the problem.
09:39I mean, a little bit of each one,
09:41then comes a time when it's a lot,
09:44what hurts you, your pocket hurts.
09:47Well, when you start thinking about the pocket
09:50and see the prices,
09:51they are clearly cases of the reflection
09:53of what happens with PAMI retirees, right?
09:55Yes, but they can also happen with people
09:58who have a prepayment,
09:59because there are certain drugs,
10:01especially oncological drugs,
10:02which are so expensive that they don't even give you coverage.
10:06The entire health care system is being rebuilt,
10:09but above all, they cannot be interrupted.
10:12In other words, they are drugs that you take,
10:14it is mandatory because health is in danger.
10:16Of course, of course, of course, of course.
10:18Wait a minute, we're coming, 13.44.
