Vallejo, a leading consumer advocacy group in Chile, has claimed that they have not received any proposal from the private health insurance companies, or Isapres, regarding their controversial rate adjustment system. The group stated that they had requested a proposal from Isapres, which would ensure that their rate adjustment system would be fair and transparent, but to no avail. Isapres have long been criticized for hiking up insurance rates for their customers, particularly women and older people, without justification. Some critics have even accused Isapres of engaging in price discrimination against these groups. Despite the lack of response from Isapres, Vallejo remains committed to fighting for a more equitable healthcare system in Chile. This ongoing battle is especially important now due to the global pandemic, which has highlighted the need for accessible and affordable healthcare for all. The issue of Isapres and their rate adjustment system is a pressing matter that requires immediate attention and action.
