Schlein, government dismantling public healthcare, we won't allow it

"We have indicated to the government where to immediately get 5 billion to hire doctors and nurses. So far they haven't listened to us. My suspicion is who have a plan, they want to dismantle public health to leave more space for the private one. And we are not there. because for us public health is still Tina's Anselmi who wanted universal healthcare for all". He did it said the secretary of the Democratic Party Elly Schlein speaking at a meeting in view of the regional elections in Calabria in Soveria Mannelli. "So even here, in Calabria - he added - it must be ensured universalistic public healthcare, not the one tailored to the individual wallet, so whoever has money alone gets ahead. Among the 2023 and 2024, the number of people in Italy who give up on treatment have increased from four and a half million to six million. Because the waiting list is too long. If there is a lack of doctors and nurses this happens, they are subjected to grueling shifts. Waiting lists are getting longer and many people are unable to get in. to book an exam, a visit. So here you need to immediately to take action and prioritize healthcare."
