Lombardy, sit-in against health care reform: “They still privatize, like a supermarket. They have learned nothing from these two years”

“The region he hasn’t learned anything from the pandemic and errors. With the new reform he would like to turn healthcare into a supermarket“. Two years after what is recognized as the official start of the Covid pandemic in Italy, the base committees and trade unions met in front of the building of Lombardy region to protest against the reform wanted by the majority. “This reform privatize further the public health service and we cannot accept it, ”he explains Vittorio Agnoletto of the Democratic Medicine non-profit organization. “It comes to the conclusion that community houses can be built by the public but then managed by the private sector”. Angelo Barbato, from the Mario Negri Institute, portrays the image of a supermarket “where you enter and choose what you want, without priorities and without decisions related to the territory”. The accusation is that of entrusting the management of the health service to the private individual who “makes money on disease, not on health and prevention”
