Maneuver, pensions: doctors on a war footing to stop the redemption of the degree

MARCO LIERA'S VIDEO ON PENSION CUTS - White coats are the hardest hit by the latest legislation on social security, which excludes the redemption of a degree from the calculation to establish the retirement age - Those who studied medicine see themselves cut, according to some, up to 11 years old – “Schizophrenic policy,” says a Gemini heart surgeon.

Maneuver, pensions: doctors on a war footing to stop the redemption of the degree

All retired. Indeed, no. He works himself up to 70 years. For Italian doctors, social security is a real puzzle, harassed as they are by ever-changing interventions. The last on the list is the one established yesterday by the government in the Arcore villa. According to a last-minute amendment to the maneuver encore of August, redeeming the years spent at university will no longer serve to bring forward the retirement age. It is true, he will continue to affect the specific weight of the checks, but this is little consolation for those who counted on retiring soon. And obviously the heaviest blow falls on the professionals who have dedicated a lifetime to university studies. The white coats, in fact. The category that will have to "suffer the greatest cut", as the confederate union recalls to the CGIL.

"The most striking thing is the schizophrenia of politics - Gabriele Bombardieri, heart surgeon at the Gemelli hospital in Rome, told FIRSTonline - At the beginning, Brunetta wanted to retire us as soon as possible to stop paying our salaries and thus restore the accounts of the ASL . Now the Treasury has realized that for the good of public coffers it is better if we delay our retirement for a few more years".

Many doctors have come to redeem up to 11 years spent between the course and specialization. Today they are between 50 and 60 and one of their most recurring aspirations (university barons aside) is to be able to retire to dedicate themselves exclusively to private practice. A dream destined to remain in the drawer because of Giulio Tremonti. It is probable that the new rule that once again upsets the cards on the table was born from an intuition of the superminister.

These continuous fluctuations in politics are counterbalanced by a jungle of differentiated rules according to the role held in the hospital. “Professors can retire at the age of 70 – explains Bombardieri – except in the cases provided for by a recent circular from Minister Gelmini. Hospitallers, on the other hand, are allowed to retire at the age of 65, but if they wish they can remain up to 70. As for researchers, they have no choice. Once you reach 65, retirement is mandatory.
