In contact with the population, the State agencies routinely perform classification operations aimed to differentiate people and to shape their access to material and symbolic goods. Going farther in the study of this operation, in this article we analyze the bureaucratic categories elaborated to define the beneficiaries of the novel health policies built since the 30s, investigating those who were responsible for creating them, whom they included and excluded and what senses were granted to them. The exploration of these procedures of classification allows to verify that the use of old social categories such as “pobre” and “pudientes” sustained early and durables processes of targeted health policies in Argentina.

Keywords : Social Classification; Beneficiaries; Health Policies; Peronismo; Social Groups.
