title: Is Argentina ready for managed care?
abstract: The author describes the evolution and present status of health insurance and prepaid medical care in Argentina, with particular reference to the opportunities for the development of managed care systems and techniques there. He claims that as US health care corporations enter that country's marketplace there are lessons to be learned that will probably be applicable in other countries of the Americas.
