Type: article
Abstract: The constitutional court ruling 139/2016, of july 21 has resolved an appeal of unconstitutionality presented by the Parliament of Navarra against certain legal norms of Decree-Law 16/2012. The paper critically analyzes three of the issues addressed in the constitutional resolution: the fulfillment of the requirement of the de facto enabling budget of the contested rule, the extraordinary and urgent need; respect to the material limit of non-affectation to the rights, duties and constitutional freedoms of citizens and the main issue, if art. 1.1 of Decree-Law 16/2012, which excludes from public health care the vulnerable group of foreigners without authorization of residence, violates the right to health protection of art. 43 of the Constitution.
