Can someone give the layman's version of what is going on with the national health care insurance program?
It seems that the country has moved ahead with providing health insurance/coverage. Is this true?
What I am wondering is how the program is supposed to work?
My understanding is that even temporary workers will get coverage (see news story from Thursday DR1) and non-documented persons will get coverage as well.
If this is true I wonder how many of those living in the RD, Dominicano and Haitiano, will really get this access?
Seems to me that a majority of people don't even know that they can get access and how many will be turned away or forced to pay something to a clinic when it could be covered?
Am I wrong in thinking that this is a program for everyone in the RD?
