“A great cost to the state’s health service (…) is the attention of nearly 25% outsiders. States that are not from Aguascalientes, to the. I can’t cater to states, because that costs me about 25%,” he said.
The governor also indicated that those who are affiliated with IMSS should be cared for in their clinics.
According to the governor, in the coming days he will discuss, together with health executives, the best decision on the incorporation of Aguascalientes into the federal system, and assured that the state will “have quality medical services”.

“All hospital directors will be working over the next 20 days to make a decision, but the decision will ultimately be determined on a budget basis, and if I spend more than 20% of budget with other states, then give it, everyone their own, guys. And if I spend on imss, which doesn’t pay me, so does everyone with theirown,” he said.

These statements come after on February 4, NAP governors reported that there was no agreement with President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to ratify an agreement they had signed with the cabinet, on the operation and funds for the Welfare Health Institute (Insabi) to operate in their states.
The governors noted that in past weeks they had met with the technical health committee of the Association of Governors of National Action (GOAN) and the federal health cabinet, with whom they negotiated an agreement to enrich the original proposal of the model that the Insabi would follow.
However, they said, the federal government did not ratify the agreement, so it “reduced the possibility of an agreement to a single position: to adhere or reject the original model of insabi.

Therefore, they agreed that each state with panist government (Aguascalientes, Baja California Sur, Chihuahua, Guanajuato and Tamaulipas) will decide whether or not to adhere to the Institute of Welfare Health.
