translated from Spanish: ISAPREs passed the ball to the Government: the authorities “have been unable to respond to the problems facing the system”

In a week marked by the rise in values of five isapres plans, giving rise to various criticisms of the system, the President of the Association of private insurers, Rafael C aviedes, responded to questions that came from the Government, who announced that they reactivated the draft law reforming the isapres.
According to Caviedes, the Association didn’t like them criticism from Health Minister Emilio Santelices, who described the rises as “incomprehensible”. “Santelices knows perfectly well that the hikes are fully justified, but prefers to make statements that do not conform to reality,” said Caviedes in an interview with the daily El Mercurio. “Authorities should be responsible for compliance to citizenship when they commit dates in its reforms and also the language used,” he said, referring to the phrase of “black boxes” that used Santelices to refer to the isapres.
The reform to the isapres announced Pinera Caviedes indicates that “from our perspective, the problems facing the isapres system can be solved both by the administrative as by way of a legal change”.
“Without however, both the last Government like this have been unable, at least to date, to respond to problems faced by the system”, questioned.
“Our attitude, at least for five years, has been proactive, trying to find solutions to the problems of mobility, price and a guaranteed plan creation settings. For that, there have been proposals to the authority”, sentence Caviedes, who believes that these proposals have not been taken by the authority since” maybe solve these problems does not render the fruits that Governments hope”.
