Abstract

Royal Decree-Law 7/2018, of July 27, on universal access to the National Health System, represents a radical change in regard to the right to healthcare. Access to the National Health System in conditions of equity and universality is a fundamental right of every person. The guarantee of the exercise of this right and the effective protection of the health of the citizenry becomes even more important when those who are deprived of standardized health care are groups of special vulnerability, threatened by social exclusion, as is the case of the foreign population not registered or authorized to reside in Spain. The reform that established the already repealed Royal Decree-Law of 2012, distorted the right to health protection by annulling its universal vocation and eliminating the ownership of the established right.
