The PSOE continue to express our strongest rejection of both the so-called "copayment" drugs that came into effect on July 1 as the so-called "medicamentazo" which will come into force on August 1 and that is to exclude more than 400 drugs of public funding.

We understand that it is regressive and unfair measures which will particularly hurt the most vulnerable such as pensioners.

With these unjust measures the PP government is penalizing the sick and attacking the principles of equity, solidarity and equality.

We must bear in mind that once excluded from public funding more than 400 medications, they cease to be operated so it is more than likely begin to increase the price thereof.

Also it is very detrimental to the public having to go forward without limit drug money waiting for the authorities will not take it because there will be citizens who can not afford the cost of the drugs they need.

Therefore, members of the socialist city and the municipal executive committee of Cieza personaban in the morning in front of the new health center to conduct an information campaign with distributing leaflets on the unjust measures taken by the PP government.

Speaking to the media, Antonio Martinez-Real secretary of the group, recalled that "as early as 2011 the PP charge to FAES a report on the co-payment, and in April the same year President Valcarcel did some demonstrations for copayment. Actually what the PP is intended to dismantle the public sector and the privatization of health, attacking equality and seriously damaging many people who are not going to bear the costs of their medications, thereby establishing and clearly some differences between those who will be able to be treated properly and who will have difficulty accessing a public health safeguards.
