The President denounced this circumstance this Thursday to combat the "imbecile purists" who want to measure their liberalism in blood. Deregulation has, throughout Milei's speech, very deep theoretical roots.
But, with little respect for that kind of hypothetical game, the flesh-and-blood entrepreneurs of prepaid medicine decided to act motivated by real-life calculations, ambitions, and urgencies. Their clients, who also must face the inclemencies of that same reality every day, were spectators and forced protagonists of that storm of increases. The restrictions of real life, always more odious than the landscapes drawn by theoretical speculation - and especially bad theories - have been giving the Government bad news for several days. The scandal over increases in private medicine fees is one of those. The President has been proposing it since he appeared on television for the first time. The proposal to set fire to the Central Bank, or even to open the possibility of selling organs on the market, were some of her best-known deregulatory ideas.
