Spain is taking away the right of undocumented people to free medical assistance‏

Ooops, i forgot to say that,

This new legislation starts on the 1 September 2012 and the five
communities against are: Andalucía, Cataluña, País Vasco, Asturias y
Comunidad Valenciana. Which they have said that they want to carry on to
provide free medical assistance to undocumented people.

Apparently, some other doctors associations have also said that they will
carry on treating people regardless their legal status. The only thing is
that in some of these places, people will need to have like a card to show
their identity, etc and unless they will be registered, they will not be
able to get the assistance they will need, unless they will pay.

For a few months now, a new legislation came out in Spain that has taken
away the rights of undocumented people without papers to be able to have
 free medical assistance. This also exclude pregnant women who want to
 terminate their pregnancy. Some governmental areas have said they are
 against this new legislation.

 However, doctors without borders have started a campaign to say that they
 will carry on treating people regardless their legal status.
