Los ricos no lloran
Quienes se formaron en el sistema de salud anterior, que fue un desastre, con razón ven con temor el retroceso hacia el que va el actual si se acaba abruptamente el aseguramiento en la atención de la salud. Y no son los ricos, por cierto, que son muy pocos, los que van a llorar. Son, como suele ser, los pobres y la clase media los que más van a sufrir.
