Abstract
DE FAZIO, Federico Leandro. The relationship between the State and workers' unions and its impacts in the union-based health coverage regime in Argentina: an historical and political analysis. Salud colectiva [online]. 2013, vol.9, n.3, pp.301-315. ISSN 1851-8265.
This paper aims at developing a political and historical reconstruction of the period spanning from the late nineteenth century to the present. In particular, this work investigates the relationship between the Argentine State and workers' unions and the impacts of that relationship in the establishment, consolidation and potential decline of the health coverage system administrated by unions, in Argentina called obras sociales. This work will also support the hypothesis that the financing obtained by union leaders through this health coverage system has been an efficient instrument for sustaining a centralized union model and has in some cases guaranteed the continued governance of both union leaders and different national governments.
