MINOLDO, Sol. The Menem’s age of the PAMI: An approach to the recent history of the medical insurance for the retirees in Argentina . Folia [online]. 2018, n.33, pp.31-60. ISSN 0325-8238.

PAMI, as an institution destined to pension people, is a key institution to guarantee the access of the elderly to health services. However, the scientific literature centred on PAMI is remarkable limited. This paper proposes to reconstruct an approach to the Menem’s age on PAMI trough newspapers reports. Hence, it systematizes the information published in three national newspapers with different editorial lines (La Nación, Página12 y Clarín). During the 6 years analyzed, PAMI implemented different management and government styles. It had accumulated a huge debt, threatened the elderly health because of lack or delay on the attention, and impacted over the structure and economy of the health national system.
