Candidate González evaded presenting clear proposals on health and social security.

During the health and social security axis in the presidential debate, Luisa González showed a concerning lack of concrete proposals to address the IESS deficit and improve medical care in the country. Her intervention mainly revolved around accusations and confrontations, without clarifying how she would execute her promises.

When directly asked about whether she would raise the retirement age or the contribution rate, the candidate avoided a clear answer and resorted to criticism. Meanwhile, President Daniel Noboa was emphatic: "the age and contribution rate will not be raised", instead proposing incentives for youth hiring to strengthen the system.

González stated that "in her government" the IESS affiliates doubled, tacitly admitting she was referring to Correa's administration, which Noboa took advantage of to remind that the Citizen Revolution used the IESS as petty cash. He also denounced that during her tenure as acting minister, González arbitrarily cut pensions, which the candidate denied without technical support.

Additionally, President Noboa firmly recalled that during the Correa administration, bonds with discounts were given to the IESS and the 40% state contribution to pensions was eliminated, weakening the system. González did not address these issues and preferred to shift focus to unsupported allegations.

The most controversial point came when Noboa questioned González about her closeness to individuals linked to hospital mafias. He mentioned names like Rony Aleaga and Javier Jordán, whom he associated with corrupt structures that profited from the sale of medicines. González admitted to having worked with them but said she expelled them, without explaining why she supported them before.

In contrast, Noboa explained measures already implemented such as the payment of the historical debt to ISFA and credit programs for women and young entrepreneurs. He also defended the use of technology like Health Bird and Google to improve the efficiency of the health system.

"We are not going to play with Ecuadorians' pensions like the Citizen Revolution already did," said Daniel Noboa.

González ended the axis by reiterating generic promises of new hospitals and emergency declarations, without detailing how she would finance them or how she would avoid repeating the failed model of Correa's administration.

The debate highlighted the lack of clarity and sustainable proposals from Luisa González on one of the most sensitive issues for Ecuadorians. Meanwhile, Daniel Noboa presented concrete and realistic solutions, while González continued to defend a model that has already proven unsustainable for the country's health and pension system.
