A eliminar dias feriados en Puerto Rico

La Camara de Representantes aprobo esta tarde una medida que pretende aumentar la cantidad de dias laborales en el gobierno mediante la consolidacion de cuatro dias feriados.

 

Segun propone el proyecto, se conmemoraran los natalicios de Eugenio Maria de Hostos, Jose de Diego, Luis Munoz Rivera y Jose Celso Barbosa el tercer lunes de febrero, coincidiendo asi con la celebracion del Dia de los Presidentes estadounidenses y el Dia de los Gobernadores.

 

Puerto Rico y la reforma de salud federal

El gobernador Luis Fortuno reconoce que si el Congreso crea un nuevo programa para ofrecerle un plan de salud a los 46 millones de personas que ahora no lo tienen en Estados Unidos, se requerira un esfuerzo especial para ajustarlo a Puerto Rico.

 

Fortuno se refirio a la posibilidad de que ese nuevo programa que pudiera quedar en manos del Gobierno federal -como se hace ahora con Medicaid y Medicare- dependa de deducciones contributivas federales que harian mas complicado su puesta en marcha en la Isla.
