| Sumario: | In this article we analyze the different financial obstacles the population has to go through in order to have access to a doctor, a dentist, a psychologist or a psychiatrist in urban areas in Argentina. The work is based on a Survey about Use and Expenditure on Health Services carried out in the year 2010 together by CEDOP (UBA) and DEIS (MSAL). As a result, we see that there are differential financial obstacles to make appointments with different health professionals. Those who see a dentist, a psychologist or a psychiatrist have to spend more of their “own” money than those who see a doctor. The main reason explaining this differential expenditure is the different coverage the Argentine system provides for the appointments with professionals. |
