  • Review of health care system reforms and international financial institution recommendations.

    • Main Results:

    • The Argentinean economy underwent significant transformation, leading to the dismantling of the welfare state.
    • Post-2001 reforms, influenced by the World Bank, Inter-American Development Bank, WTO, and free trade agreements, favored multinational corporations.
    • The state's role in providing essential social services like health and education diminished.

    Conclusions:

    • Despite political discourse, subsequent administrations continued policies that expanded corporate opportunities at the expense of social services.
    • Emerging social movements offer alternative, solidarity-based projects, suggesting possibilities for a different societal model.
    • The "new reform" approach prioritized business interests over the needs of vulnerable populations.
