247 – Journalist Cristina Serra wrote in Folha de S.Paulo: “The convictions implicated by Prevent Senior health insurer are shocking, but not entirely surprising.”

according to journalistAll of this is serious, criminal and cruel, but it fits the logic of the health insurance business model. “To capture the unwary, they promise worlds and money. In practice, they make it difficult to access services, especially if a patient needs treatment in a hospital, which is one of the most expensive items in the sector.”

With the onset of the pandemic, “this business model is collapsing because suddenly thousands of customers need the most expensive beds in intensive care units for a long time.”

“In the case of Prevent Senior, which is targeting the elderly, who are hardest hit in the early months of the pandemic, it is not hard to imagine the damage to profit margins.” This explains why the company is pushing “chloroquine down the throat of patients.”

He concludes, “This case makes us think of doctors and monsters and shows us that health cannot be taken as a business. We already have the alternative. It is necessary to strengthen and increase investment in the unified health system.”
