Suspicious thoughts on the new “Health reform” proposals in Colombia

Abstract

In view of the overwhelming amount of news, statements and proposals concerning the new Colombian “Health Reform”, some commentaries are presented in this article regarding conflictive semantic issues of the law that created the Colombian Social Security System, the impact of different social issues on public health, the contradictory and expensive scenario of the current Colombian health system, and the improvisation and difficulties in implementing such law, which have contributed to neglect in other important aspects of the Social Security System.
