The processing of the new moratorium had failed on December 21 when the JxC interblock and other opposition spaces refused to give a quorum. In the main opposition bench, there are different positions on whether to remain inflexible or to start the debate. In principle, there would be Together for Change lawmakers descending on the premises today once the Frente de Todos and its circumstantial allies reach 129 attendances allowing the session to begin.

“I hope that tomorrow (for today) the deputies will descend on the premises, they will be able to discuss this law and build this tool, which is neither for ANSES nor for the Government, but for 800,000 Argentines who are waiting”said the head of the National Social Security Administration, fernanda ravertawho promotes initiative.

The bill provides for a new moratorium so that men and women who have reached retirement age but who do not have 30 years of contributions can regularize their situation.

“We Argentines must debate and sanction the law on the payment of the pension debt”affirmed the boss of ANSES.

To achieve a quorum, Kirchnerism relies on the support of the four left-wing deputies, four from the Interbloc of the United Provinces and at least eight members of the federal Interbloc. From this last space, the inhabitants of Buenos Aires of Identity –Graciela Camaño and Alejandro “Topo” Rodríguez-, and the two socialists of Santa Fe, Monica Fein and Enrique Estevez. So far it is unclear what position he will take Florencio Randazzo, while the three Córdoba Federal representatives agreed a month ago to carry out the same strategy of Together for Change. However, the three deputies representing the provincial government would give their approval to the initiative once the session is activated, said parliamentary sources. Telam Agency.

In this way, the place would reach 130 deputies present and could launch the debate. Even with the presence of Neuquén Rolando Figueroa (MPN)from Santa Cruz claudio vidal (own block) and depending on the position Randazzo takes, the number could reach 133.

This Tuesday’s session will take place within the framework of a call to the doors of Parliament by pensioners and trade union and social associations who seek to make visible the importance of approving the initiative which has half of the approval of the Senate .

A few hours after the opening of the Chamber of Deputies, ANSES published a press release highlighting the impact that the approval of the moratorium law on pensions would have.

“At the national level, 800,000 Argentines could access their retirement this year thanks to the promulgation of this law”, estimate. Meanwhile, at the provincial level, beneficiaries would be 268,000 in Buenos Aires; 91,000 in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires; 54,000 in Cordoba; 48,000 in Santa Fe; 29,000 in Mendoza; 23,000 in Tucuman; 22 thousand in Misiones; 22,000 in the Chaco; 21,000 in Salta; 21 thousand to Corrientes; 17 thousand to Entre Ríos and 17 thousand to Formosa. To this are added 15,000 in Santiago del Estero; 10,000 in Jujuy; 10,000 in San Juan; 10 miles to Chubut; 10 thousand to Neuquén; 10,000 in Rio Negro; 9,000 in Santa Cruz; 8 thousand to San Luis; 4 thousand to La Pampa; 4 thousand in La Rioja; 4 thousand to Catamarca and 2 thousand to Tierra del Fuego.

“What this law allows, in business, to reimburse the years due until 2012 and, if you are already of retirement age, to reimburse the years due until 2008”explained Fernanda Raverta.

The Lower House will try in Tuesday’s special session to approve the bill which aims to establish the obligation for patients to have free access to their medical records through a digitized system throughout the country.

The project won a favorable opinion from the Social Action and Public Health Commission last October with the consensus of the ruling party and the opposition, but its processing was cut short in December amid the dispute between the FdT and the JxC over the progress of the Government on the judiciary. If today the initiative does not become law, it will lose its parliamentary status.

The proposal creates the single federal medical records computerization and digitization program, through which all patient information will be documented in a single system.

In the Single System for the Registration of Electronic Clinical Records, a register is kept of all the medical and health interventions of health professionals and auxiliaries, which are provided on the national territory, either in public establishments of the health system of national, provincial or municipal jurisdiction, and of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, as well as in private and social security establishments. It is also established that it must contain the clinical data of the person or patient, clearly and easily understandable, from birth to death.

“The information provided cannot be altered, without the relevant modification being recorded, even in the event that it seeks to correct an error in accordance with the provisions of Law 25.326 on the Protection of Personal Data and its amendments”says the project.
