“Mr. President, this situation is the result of your policy. You may have your way of thinking, but when you took office you did not swear on your ideas but on the Argentine Constitution, which establishes that positive measures must be taken towards this sector, which expects concrete answers from its government now. ” Thus closes the letter that the coordinator of the Permanent Disability Forum, Pablo Molero, addressed to President Javier Milei.
The open letter was put into circulation a day before a new march of providers in the disability sectorwhich after more than a year of complaints still receive no answers. Not only did the nomenclature that establishes their pay lag behind inflation, but there have also been delays since October and November for those who depend on Incluir Salud and Pami.
“I regret that there is no place for people with disabilities in your speeches. The denial of this sector has not remained at the level of words, its government from the beginning has taken measures that have discredited them, that have put in crisis the support they need to be able to develop and that they do not have in the generation of opportunities that allow them to be included in all dimensions of social life,” Molero denounced in his letter.
Letter to the President
In the letter to Milei, Molero reminds him that last year he vetoed the Law 27,793 Disability Emergency, which was later ratified by Congress. “But since he had no interest in responding to this sector of the population, in the same decree that promulgated it he also suspended it due to lack of resources, which have existed for other areas. Justice ruled against this measure and forced him to regulate the law and put it into execution.” Then, “its 2026 budget proposal did not contemplate items to comply with this lawbut again Congress largely did not accept that this sector was harmed.”
In November 2025, the Executive established an increase in tariffs for benefits in three tranches. “So far Incluir Salud has not paid a large part of the providers for the month of October. The last month PAMI paid was November. “The social and prepaid works continue with their rhythm of 60 to 90 days, which has put providers in a very difficult economic-financial situation that has an impact on people with disabilities,” lists the letter to Milei. And it continues: “The delay in payment of Incluir Salud is incomprehensible because the National Disability Agency did not execute $30,000 million, which it ended up returning to general revenues instead of complying with its obligations.”
“Please note that for the aforementioned increase, a tariff was used that did not take into account the tariff arrears from the period December 2023 to December 2024, which your government has recognized as existing in the response of the National Treasury Attorney to the Federal Judge of Campana. If this is not corrected, the tariffs continue to maintain a delay that harms the providers.”, stated Molero.
“The State must respond”
The Argentine Council for the Inclusion of People with Disabilities (CAIDIS) called for a marches this Thursday to the Ministry of Health, together with the Private Drivers Union. The transport sector had already been carrying out forceful measures and warning that many providers stopped providing service – and turned to other activities, such as home deliveries – due to delays in payments.
“Institutions are on the limit. Behind every benefit there are people with disabilities whose rights cannot wait. It is not a sectoral claim. “It is the defense of the support system that sustains thousands of lives throughout the country,” they stated.
Under the motto «The State must respond«, the Association of Disability Prevention and Care Entities (Apridis) is part of the call to mobilize this Thursday. “What we need in the first place is for the government to resume the payments suspended since last year,” he told the Santa Fe newspaper. The Capital Mariel Chapero, head of that entity. In Rosario there will also be a march this Thursday morning.
“The situation is desperate, today the benefits are 40 percent out of date, it took many years to build a system that is in clear agony,” Chapero lamented. He added that “Disability lives in a state of abandonmentas well as retirees, university students and workers. That’s why we say this is everyone’s business.”
