Resumen
Los diputados nos dieron una bofetada a los costarricenses y luego intentaron teñir de tinto político electoral, una decisión que claramente lleva consigo la protección de su parte a un pequeño grupo empresarial que está drenando los bolsillos de las familias costarricenses, lucrando con un oligopolio nefasto que se reparte más de 900 millones de dólares al año en el mercado de medicamentos. Su decisión de votar negativo el proyecto de ley que procuraba la regulación del precio, márgenes de utilidad de distribuidoras y minoristas en el mercado de medicamentos, muestra hasta dónde llega la captura de nuestro parlamento por los intereses de unos cuantos grupos empresariales, que claramente afectan a la mayoría, a los de a pie, a los costarricenses que pagan hasta cinco veces el valor medio de un medicamento.
The deputies gave us a slap in the face to the Costa Ricans and then tried to dye it electoral political red, a decision that clearly brings with it the protection of its part to a small business group that is draining the pockets of Costa Rican families, profiting from a nefarious oligopoly that distributes more than 900 million dollars a year in the drug market. Its decision to vote against the bill seeking price regulation, profit margins of distributors and retailers in the drug market, shows the extent to which the capture of our parliament by the interests of a few business groups, which clearly affect the majority, the ordinary, the Costa Ricans who pay up to five times the average value of a drug.
