A senate committee on Wednesday rejected a health reform proposed by the government of Colombian President Gustavo Petro, in a new defeat for the leftist, who has struggled to push new laws for his cornerstone promises through the Andean country's Congress.
The reform was aimed at stripping power from insurers and expanding access to healthcare, according to the government, while detractors warned it opened the door to corruption.
