“‘Public health system is not only the state system, it is also the private one’, the minister (dissolution of public) Health decided to inform us today”, commented the SYRIZA PS in a statement. “Confirming that the ND’s announced plan to privatize the public health system does not include summer vacations. But also reminding that, the man who has undertaken to implement it, passes every possible argument“, he emphasizes.

According to SYRIZA “the insidious statement of Adonis Georgiadis, on the basis of which the public health system is perceived as one with the private, effectively opens the door for the privatization of the public system with the following simple argument: since the citizen pays to the private (which is, supposedly, a department of the ‘unified public system’), why not pay in the other one as well?».

SYRIZA emphasizes that “this is the unacknowledged intention and aim of every neoliberal. Which he tries to impose (first) ideologically with such, supposedly innocent, figures of speech. And then to proceed with the corresponding acts».

“We don’t even expect Mr. Georgiadis to look for pretexts when he continues his ‘reforms’,” reports SYRIZA, adding: “At least, with whatever dignity he has left (?), let him answer, together with Mr. Mitsotakis , to the question addressed to them by the President of SYRIZA – Progressive Alliance: do they have public or private insurance?”.
