The health, the topic under discussion in this Forum New Frontiers Wednesday, deserved at the end of assistance from the experts, the participation of Prime Minister Jose Socrates, who praised the National Health Service (SNS in Portuguese). With great emphasis, Socrates spoke in one of the major targets in its next term. This is the voucher program dentist. The socialist leader said he intends to generalize the scope of this program. Currently only affects children under seven, ten and thirteen years, a total of 200 000. Our commitment is to ensure by the end of the legislature access to oral health care for all children and all young people from four to 16 years, said the leader of the PS.

José Socrates promises to ensure the infamous oral health program based on the check-dentist to all children and young people aged between 4 and 16 years old in 2013, ie only for those born between 1997 and 2009. Are thus automatically guaranteed by the current head of government, the removal of the program hundreds of thousands of children and adolescents born before 1997, regardless of any clinical or social origin.
Taking into account the already precarious nature of this program of check-dentist, it becomes clear that not be the continuation of the current health policy advocated by the Socialist Party that the majority of children and young Portuguese will have access to oral healthcare. Thus, the majority of future generation of men and women of our country will continue beyond any possibility of access to oral health care in our country.
Now that Jose Socrates has put pen to paper on what will remain the case for oral health policy continues to be Prime Minister, the question remains: is it worth to vote in the Socialist Party in the forthcoming elections? You may not have interest in the subject but will we sacrifice more nearly an entire generation, spending tens of billions of euros in investments very doubtful for the improvement of living at the same time it will deny access most children and young people to oral health care?
Think before you vote.
