Idec (Institute for Consumer Protection) sent this Monday (10) a letter to the president of the House of Representatives, Arthur Lira (PP-AL ), questioning the fact that the agreement between him and the health operators, to suspend the s unilateral terminations of collective contracts do not count on the participation of consumer protection entities and civil society.

When Arthur Lira announced the verbal agreement, on the 28th , Lira signaled that he would hear from consumer protection entities in the following days, but, so far, this has not happened. The cancellations affected children with autism, rare diseases, cerebral palsy, as well as patients with cancer and other serious illnesses and resulted in an increase in complaints to the ANS (National Supplementary Health Agency), federal government channels and health care entities.
