Presidente Petro propone convertir el Soat en un impuesto y cambiar la forma en la que se cobra

TL;DR

  • President Gustavo Petro wants to change the SOAT's operating logic to resemble a tax.
  • The proposal aims for a progressive system where smaller vehicles pay less and larger vehicles pay more.
  • This is intended to address financial needs and perceived constitutional inequities in the healthcare system.
  • The current SOAT system is based on actuarial calculations and vehicle accident rates.
  • The SOAT covers medical expenses, permanent disability, death, funeral costs, and transportation.
  • The proposal would shift SOAT from a calculation based on accident rates to a redistributive logic.
