And of course there will be universal health care.
As stated by the President, all public hospitals will begin to charge the ARS for services rendered to patients, unlike before.
This is in tune with the plan to turn over all Public Health Facilities to private administrators, but with a Public partnership. Those bills that are unpaid will be picked up by the state under the Medical Care program (state/public funded).
Universal Insurance coverage will be mandatory in the DR. Those that don't get one from their job/self employment, will be covered by the State funded Medical Care program.
Travelers to the DR will be required to either have an existing medical coverage for international care or purchase a temporary insurance policy under the local ARS on entry to the country. Save only for diplomatic or other foreigners at the state level.
Again, all Public Hospitals in the DR will be renovated or built at or above private/regional standards of quality and services rendered.
And of course there will be universal health care.
