The Municipal Socialist Party councilor, Isabel Casalduero, stressed that "one of the groups most affected by the crisis is to pensioners. Should be remembered that the Murcia region has some of the lowest pensions in the country."

Casalduero related that "the policy of the People's Party cuts is affecting some more than others.'s Pensioners is a group to which these measures will particularly affect their special vulnerability and the amount of drugs commonly needed".

Lorquina The mayor recalled that "the copay is that pensioners with incomes below 18,000 euros, will have to pay 8 euros per month maximum, and those with incomes between 18,000 and 100,000 euros will pay a maximum of 18 euros per month. This measure is aggravated by stating that at the time of collecting your medicines, pensioners must pay 10% of the amount thereof and all that exceed the cap, they are paid within six months. To this we must add that withdrew 456 frequently used drugs. In this case, pensioners must pay 100%. "

The Socialist councilor has expressed that "it is a measure that affects approximately 18,000 over our town. Moreover, given the fact that marriages are often those who are affected, so the payment is twofold. Pensioner is estimated that with a chronic disease can earn $ 100 or more over a month at that overexertion are forced to perform. Presumably the effort you have to make people who are paid minimum pensions, and any accumulated that they can reach owe ".

"We are against the copayment. Measure is totally unfair. Permissible not being charged more than they are entitled to by the law itself. Want to get paid little interest for them to be. It is essential to enable a system to not pay a single euro more. addition, use that money to pay advances to pharmacies what they have to pay, "he added.

Jódar Casalduero has clarified that "according to experts, this will cause a deterioration in the health of pensioners plus it can cause really unfortunate situations. We have been aware of situations in which a marriage with a minimum pension, could not cope with the payment of 10% of the drugs needed for both, having to choose between one or the other. Such situations can not afford. "

Lorquina policy has remarked that "according to a recently published study, 2 out of 3 retirees can not afford the medications. Autonomous communities, including some ruled by the Popular Party, have put in place mechanisms to enforce a monthly basis that differentiates which many pensioners can not afford cumulatively. believe that the injustice of the measure deserves society and, especially, those affected are mobilized to demand greater urgency in the repayment of amounts owed to the community and so some force to remove a measure that is so unfair and it also can be a setback for the health of many people. "

Isabel Casalduero finished announcing that "therefore, we have made available to those affected claim leaves that are available both on the web and in the office of the Municipal Socialist Group and we are available to help them fill them and record them in the window CARM unique. They demand immediate payment of what they are owed and interest of the days and months of delay with respect to what makes the law. "
