Abstract

The article discusses whether having an insurance cover is sufficient to ensure effective access to health care among poor people in Mexico in the long term. Operating characteristics of the program make the program more vulnerable to financial insolvency. It suggests that policy makers will need to redirect efforts toward prevention and healthier lifestyles by implementing public health campaigns.
