title = "Health Insurance Reforms in Latin America: Cream Skimming, Equality and Cost-Containment",
abstract = "Recent social insurance reforms in Latin America aimed at enlarging the scope for private sector involvement have produced structural changes in the provision and financing of health care. Private provision of health care is already long established in the region for middle to high income groups. The changes in health care financing go further, and represent a radical departure from traditional social insurance models of protection towards establishing health insurance markets. The aim of this chapter is to consider the implications of these changes in health care financing for health care access, demand and costs.",
