GUTIERREZ, Florencia  e  ROSALES, María del Carmen. The Medical-assistance in  Sugar Mills during the First Peronism: the Redefinition of an Old Social Debate. Andes [online]. 2015, vol.26, n.1, pp.00-00. ISSN 1668-8090.

In 1946, with the advent of Peronism to power, the problem of health of the sugar workers provoked again great discussions. In November of that year, the governor of the Province of Tucuman, Carlos Dominguez, sent to the Legislature a free medical-assistance project, compulsory for the companies with more than 200 workers. It directly affected the sugar mills. In two months the bill became law generating a deep controversy that recovered the distributive nature of sugar protectionism and the social obligations of the employers. In this sense, the law forced to define the limits of the responsability of both, individuals and the State, in order to meet the agro-industry health problems and contributed to articulate interwoven demands that "from above" but also "from below" allowed the emergence of health as a the right.
