Proposed Changes to the National Health Service
On Thursday, PSD and CDS-PP submitted a legislative proposal aimed at amending the Basic Health Law to curb the "abusive use" of the National Health Service (SNS) by foreign nationals not residing in Portugal. According to João Almeida from CDS, the intention is not to exclude those who are already in Portugal and in need, but rather to limit access for those who come specifically for health services. The goal is to optimize SNS resources and eliminate "abuses".
Political Reactions
The Socialist Party (PS) has already announced its intention to vote against the proposal, while Chega may support it, raising questions about the potential outcome of this legislative initiative. What are the implications of these changes for foreign nationals seeking healthcare in Portugal? Stay tuned for updates as this story develops.
