The Government reverses the freedom of prices for the sector because it considers that it is 'cartelized.' The accumulated price variation between December and March, the latest official data, was 90%. Private medical plans skyrocketed by over 150% in the same period.

The Government began to issue increasingly serious warnings to prepaid medicine companies, as they are known in Argentina. But until today, it did not decide to act because doing so contradicts the libertarian viewpoints of President Javier Milei, who defended in Davos: "The State is not the solution, it is the problem itself. "The most affected have been the elderly, who have seen their income decrease due to the snip at pensions while their spending has skyrocketed due to an increase in health plans and medications. In extreme cases, faced with the impossibility of paying, some have turned to the courts and obtained favorable rulings. Others, despite themselves, have unsubscribed to join the health system that serves retirees and pensioners. "The blow to the pocket has been felt by all those who pay for these services, that is, around 14% of the Argentine population, just over six million people."
