The Chamber of Deputies analyzes a project by Congressman Ronaldo Nogueira (Republicans) that regulates the accreditation of doctors and private clinics by the Unified Health System for outpatient care (PL 6951/13). The project allows accreditation, and aims to improve and facilitate health care in Brazil, especially for those who depend exclusively on the SUS, through the accreditation of medical specialties to care for these patients in the private network. According to the deputy, “Brazil is showing very clear signs of a collapse in its health system. The proposal allows the accreditation of specialist doctors, medical specialty clinics, companies and professionals that perform diagnostic exam services, through compensation for the service by federal tax credit. More than 1 million people are on the waiting list for specialized care. The result is the death of more than 150 thousand Brazilians every year due to lack of care or precarious care.
Governor postpones the validity of the decrees, and Fiergs says that additional revenue from fuel does not require a new adjustment
Governor Eduardo Leite announced yesterday (28) the postponement by 30 days of the entry into force of decrees with cuts in tax benefits. As a result, the measure, which aims to increase ICMS collection, will come into force at the beginning of May. During this period, the governor wants to negotiate with business entities a proposal raising ICMS from 17% to 19%, as proposed by 24 entities linked to agribusiness. The Federation of Industries of the State of Rio Grande do Sul informed the State Government and the president of the Legislative Assembly, deputy Adolfo Brito, that the effective ICMS rates on fuels already exceed the limits established in Complementary Laws 192 and 194. According to Fiergs, the tax increase will generate an additional R$2.5 billion per year for the government of Rio Grande do Sul, which deflates the argument for a new tax increase.
