¿La ley 100 culpable del déficit financiero de la salud colombiana?

Abstract

The law 100 in its good intentions consists in a system based on the savings and individual capitalization made by the workers and the employers, which sought equality in terms of granting benefits to all contributors of the system, also to protect the affiliates against risks Of disability as well as the issue of pensions that the objective was to expand coverage. Today it is known that this system does not work due to different problems, such as the evasion of contributions to the system and for cultural reasons because of the ideas of corruption that all the Colombian people have in mind throughout the implementation of said law. The health system in Colombia is one of the worst in the whole continent, the problem is worrisome because according to ANIF (National Association of Financial Institutions), only 45% of the covered population belongs to the contributory regime and this has to decrease to 30 % which implies that the state has to assume large costs through the subsidized regime. With the arrival of law 100 of 1993 to Colombia reform the Colombian health system, which starts the creation of the social security system that becomes a right and a public service whose purpose is to improve and optimize the quality Of life for all Colombians; Based on equity, compulsory, free choice and comprehensive protection; That although the figures show a great coverage of people who have a health card, the reality is different, since this does not imply that these people have access as such to their medical care; That it is efficient, agile and provided in a relevant way in facilities that have the established health standards.
