| Sumario: | Health systems are essentially complex social systems which require the observation of significant phenomenon through multiple approaches for their correct understanding. Historical institutionalism is one of those approaches, which through the identification of an event which generates a subsequent way allows understanding how institutions develop and of the consequences, whether institutional or not. Law 18610 from the year 1970 which regulates the functioning and funding of health insurance impacts as the transcendental landmark in the making up of the Argentinian health system, usually described as fragmented and of poor performance. This law determined the subsequent way regarding the manner to secure citizens and in general terms the ground rules affecting the involved institutional actors (the state, the health insurance sector, and the private sector). The objective of this work is to analyze the fragmentation in health of the Argentinian health system from an alternative point of view, in order to get a better understanding of the system and offer breakthrough ideas for the system. |
