Actress Valentina Bassi described Javier Milei's government's project to reform the disability law as 'nefarious' and a 'step back 30 years.' She argued that deregulating the unified nomenclature would make access to therapies depend on individuals' finances. Bassi, mother of a teenager with autism, defended the current system that ensures equal opportunities.
In statements to Radio con Vos, actress Valentina Bassi rejected the project promoted by Javier Milei's government, signed by Manuel Adorni, Mario Lugones, and the president himself. 'It is nefarious, the worst of all, it is stepping back 30 years,' she stated.
The initiative, titled 'against pension fraud,' includes deregulating the unified nomenclature, which Bassi noted is part of the basic benefits law approved in 1997 and has been operating for 30 years. This system ensures people with disabilities access therapies, support, medication, and school regardless of their social condition, whether they have expensive prepaid health plans, basic social security, or none.
'If it is deregulated, it will start to depend on people's pockets, whether they can access a dignified life or not,' Bassi argued. She also questioned Lugones, stating his goal is to relieve prepaid health insurers of the burden of covering disabilities.
Service providers in Corrientes also criticized the proposal, calling it 'a slap from the Government'.
