520 |a This report summarizes the main findings and recommendations from the sector analysis of Argentina ' s health insurance reform program done by the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank, and the government. The main report is organized as follows: The first section briefly examines Argentina ' s health status and health system. The second section describes the main problems in health insurance as of 1994-95 that Argentina ' s public policy and programs needed to address. The third section lays out the main proposals for reform, many of which have been incorporated in the Programa de Reconversion de las Obras Sociales (the social insurance reform program) y el Instituto de Seguridad Social para Jubilados y Pensionados (INSSJP) (the health insurance fund for elderly and disabled persons). The fourth section describes some of the actions that occurred over the 18 month period of July, 1995 to late 1996 to design and begin implementing a health insurance reform program. The fifth and final section touches upon the remaining issues, strategies to deal with political resistance to change, and prospects for further reform of the health financing system.
