Pero apenas le han dado un t\u00edmido mordisco. Porque las razones de la quiebra van m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de la corrupci\u00f3n de unos cuantos funcionarios de rango medio cogidos con las manos en la masa, o la ambici\u00f3n de unos empresarios indiscretos como los de Saludcoop, que hicieron fiesta con la plata de la salud a la vista de todos.<\/p>\n<p>Si las entidades estatales quieren llegar al fondo del asunto y solucionar la crisis, deben hacerse dos preguntas: \u00bfqui\u00e9n m\u00e1s sac\u00f3 partido del desorden del sistema de salud? y \u00bfqu\u00e9 reglas y autoridades crearon el desorden? Sin respuestas completas, el Gobierno corre el riesgo de repetir los errores del pasado. Y la Fiscal\u00eda y la Contralor\u00eda se quedar\u00edan sin definir cu\u00e1nto de la crisis se debe a la corrupci\u00f3n, y cu\u00e1nto a conductas (legales pero reprochables) de quienes explotaron la falta de regulaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>La historia integral ha sido contada por entidades como la Federaci\u00f3n M\u00e9dica Colombiana (FMC), que llevaban a\u00f1os denunciando los abusos. Basta consultar los boletines virtuales del Observatorio del Medicamento de la FMC, que hacen un recuento minucioso de las preguntas por resolver y las soluciones por intentar.<\/p>\n<p>La primera duda es si Saludcoop es s\u00f3lo una entre muchas EPS que sacaron partido del sistema. Por ejemplo, la FMC ha mostrado que m\u00e1s de 30 EPS le cobraron al Estado (Fosyga) medicamentos antihemof\u00edlicos que estaban incluidos en el POS y que, por tanto, las EPS deb\u00edan cubrir. La FMC calcula que el costo de semejante operaci\u00f3n es cerca de $30.000 millones, que terminaremos pagando todos con nuestros impuestos, a menos que el Superintendente de Salud cumpla con el anuncio de hacer que las EPS devuelvan la plata. <\/p>\n<p>Tambi\u00e9n habr\u00e1 que aclarar el rol de las farmac\u00e9uticas y de los precios que cobraron por sus medicamentos, muy por encima de los internacionales. Por ejemplo, en el caso de una popular droga contra la artritis reumatoidea y otras dolencias, la FMC ha calculado que las ganancias de la compa\u00f1\u00eda que la produce, \u201cpor simples sobreprecios, entre 2008 y 2010, superan los 143.000 millones\u201d, es decir, \u201c54.000 millones m\u00e1s de lo necesario para cubrir el d\u00e9ficit presupuestal de los hospitales de Bogot\u00e1\u201d. En muchos otros casos, los recobros fueron hechos a precios astron\u00f3micos, mediante una cadena de farmac\u00e9uticas, intermediarios y EPS que hay que esclarecer.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bfQu\u00e9 reglas y autoridades hicieron esto posible? En el tema de los medicamentos, la respuesta est\u00e1 en la decisi\u00f3n del gobierno anterior de liberar los precios en 2006. Los precios se dispararon hasta tal punto que el exministro Palacio reconoci\u00f3 su garrafal error hacia el final de su gesti\u00f3n, y anunci\u00f3 \u201cmecanismos adicionales para evitar abusos&#8221;, que nunca llegaron.<\/p>\n<p>Este fue el escenario que hered\u00f3 el gobierno Santos. Ha hecho avances fundamentales, como el impulso a la ley que racionaliza el uso de la tutela y la actualizaci\u00f3n del POS. Pero se le ve indeciso en asuntos clave, y t\u00edmido para regular algunos temas que tocan poderosos intereses. <\/p>\n<p>En cuanto a los medicamentos, acert\u00f3 al poner precios l\u00edmite de recobro a algunos de los m\u00e1s solicitados. Pero los fij\u00f3 en niveles que siguen por encima de los precios internacionales. Adem\u00e1s, tiene pendiente desmontar la desregulaci\u00f3n de precios que hered\u00f3 del gobierno anterior. <\/p>\n<p>La tarea mayor y m\u00e1s urgente es fortalecer la Superintendencia de Salud y los dem\u00e1s mecanismos de inspecci\u00f3n, vigilancia y regulaci\u00f3n. Como lo ha se\u00f1alado el propio ministro Santamar\u00eda,  y lo hab\u00eda documentado un estudio de la Procuradur\u00eda y Dejusticia, \u00e9ste ha sido el tal\u00f3n de Aquiles del sistema de competencia regulada de la Ley 100. <\/p>\n<p>De ello depender\u00e1 que no se repita la historia de los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os. Y que tengamos, al fin, un sistema de salud equitativo, eficiente y pulcro.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LUCKILY, THE GOVERNMENT, the Attorney General&#8217;s Office, and the Comptroller put teeth into the rotten apple of health.
