With the promulgation of the Decree of Necessity and Urgency (DNU) 70/23, the government marks a before and following in the way in which Argentines interact with social works and prepaid medicine companies. This new regulatory framework, which will be published in the official gazette next Monday, represents a significant step towards the democratization of the choice of health services, putting an end to a system that has long been criticized for its rigidity and lack of transparency.
The cornerstone of this DNU is freedom of choice. For the first time, beneficiaries will have the power to choose between a social work or a prepaid medicine company without restrictions, from the moment they begin an employment relationship. This measure eliminates the obligation to remain with the social work linked to your current employment for one year, opening the doors to unprecedented mobility in the sector.
Furthermore, the decree facilitates this choice by allowing it to be exercised once a year, at any time, freeing users from the bureaucratic chains that previously limited their decision-making capacity. Furthermore, the inclusion of prepaid in the contribution to the Solidarity Redistribution Fund guarantees fair competition, where all entities contribute to the health system equitably.
However, this DNU goes beyond simply offering freedom of choice. It aims to eradicate bad practices within the system, particularly those social works that have functioned more like “rubber stamps” to benefit political interests, without offering real services to their members. Transparency and competition should eradicate these inefficient actors, especially those who, despite having few members and almost no activity, have received million-dollar subsidies.
This regulatory change represents an opportunity to improve the quality of the health service in Argentina, encouraging social and prepaid works to offer better benefits to attract and retain beneficiaries. The competition fostered by this DNU promises a fairer, more efficient system focused on the well-being of the user, marking the beginning of a new era in Argentine health. This Monday we will not only witness the publication of a new decree, but also the dawn of a revitalized health system that places citizens at the heart of its decisions.
