Aseguradoras advierten riesgos financieros y de atención en salud con posible conversión del Soat a impuesto

TL;DR

  • President Gustavo Petro proposed transforming the Mandatory Traffic Accident Insurance (Soat) into a tax.
  • Fasecolda, the association of insurers, argues this proposal is risky for accident victims.
  • The conversion could negatively impact the financial sustainability of the insurance system.
  • Linking insurance cost to real vehicle risk and ensuring immediate victim care are key aspects that could be altered.
  • A tax-based system might lead to inequities, with low-risk vehicle owners potentially paying more and high-risk owners paying less.
  • The issue of Soat evasion and maintaining citizen participation in the system would also need consideration.
