TL;DR
- Decree 0182 of 2026 redefines how affiliates are moved between EPS when an EPS is withdrawn, liquidated, or under intervention.
- The decree temporarily limits free choice of EPS and relaxes financial requirements for EPS that accept more users.
- Critics fear this will lead to the concentration of insurance under state-controlled entities, harming the private sector.
- Concerns are raised about growing debts, delayed payments to healthcare providers, and a lack of transparency in intervened EPS.
- Patient associations report deaths and worsening conditions due to treatment delays, medication shortages, and access barriers.
- The decree risks moving affiliates without ensuring real continuity of care if underlying financial and operational issues are not addressed.
