Sanitary Assistance

(link CNN)

The Health Ministery of Italy is studying the spending review about the

Sanitary costs. The last idea, which is just a law project, concerns the

limitation of diagnostic examinations, to stop each abuse from doctors who

prefer to control by them rather than to risk their professionality and possible

court judgements. So the new law project provides for a punishement to all the

doctors who'll abuse of sanitary assistance. The field is very delicate, because

we have the best technology we ever had in the last century which could save

lives, and we should avoid to use it because expensive. Doctors are not happy

because they found themselves between the blade of patients and the one of

State. Beginning from the Italian Constitution, we may read that the State

guarantee each citizen health, but only the diagnostic activity is able to

confirm if a person is sick or not. So it would be logic to start from the point in

which the disease is prooved. In that case the Health Ministery must pay each

one cost concerning the cures. So, each examination should be made in a

hanging line; after it, if the patient is sane, he'll be able and happy to pay all

the costs or part of them, linked at his economic situation. At the opposite

hand, if the patient is sick, the State will provide about the cures, paying all the

costs, included the first ones from which the disease has been found. Minister

Lorenzin proposed a law which help nobody, but the State cash.
