Dear Editor,
It has been quite some time past that the health insurance takes for granted the responsibility of patient care, and is more interested in signed contracts with other nations to care for our sick, whole-heartedly.
It is also so, on the other hand, that individuals taken care of unprecedentedly do not care to address this nuisance of theirs to the proper authority, or even voice their concern to better the services given for the benefit of themselves, and others.
We notice, for example, in the seniors’ and pensioners’ association, representatives mouthing about great deals, but keeping down the poor and helpless with much talk and no action. The health institution SZV has had Dr. Bryson representing the arriving patients to Curaçao, but who is now in place? People going elsewhere have no one to turn to to represent them and if they do it is all hand in glove administratively.
Notice the issue of states where some are sent abroad, republican places, with sometimes no family members to defend them, the institution does not care; moreover, the sick are abused in the manner of proper assistance, not given any rights to defend themselves, not even covered with the right policy for their total care. If you don’t have an acceptable insurance policy you are doomed. Now while browsing on your cell, try going to UN documents on human rights patient care; don’t be surprised by what you did not know.
For the past 3-4 years the same board of the senior’s association sits once a month with the persons in charge at the SZV, and cannot come up with viable answers to the general membership. Nor had there been an election or distribution of membership cards, all against the order of the constitution of the association. We are perhaps dealing with a dictatorship regime of the association, yet I see no report in the media of such a nature.
There are many trips for conventions and boat trips to simmer the elderly, not to ruffle feathers. What is so unique is that the same president of this association and representative have not taken any time to address this non-compliance of the constitutional proceedings for the election to take place.
For requesting my membership card I was made an offer to vote for her, on election day, for the democratic party. I bluntly refused, now it is going into the third year with no word on my membership card.
How much more abuse can this be.
