grupo_derecho: Change of health scheme

I belong to the subsidised health scheme, but my health insurance card has expired, does that mean that I cannot continue my HIV/AIDS treatment?

No, in no case can the health service be denied for not having a valid affiliation card or simply not having one. The membership card is a representation of affiliation, but not of the fundamental right to health enjoyed by all persons (Decision T-676/12).

My EPS was treating me for my illness, but unfortunately I lost my job and I stopped paying contributions. Will my treatment be interrupted while I am doing the paperwork for the SISBEN?

No, if the patient does not have the resources to continue paying contributions, the treatment cannot be interrupted under any circumstances. If the patient does so, he or she has the right to claim through the amparo action (Sentencia T-230/09).
