PAMI
PAMI ((スペイン語:Programa de Atención Médica Integral); (英語:Comprehensive Medical Attention Program)) is a public health insurance agency in Argentina managed by the Ministry of Health.
==Overview==
Administered under the aegis of the ''Instituto Nacional de Servicios Sociales para Jubilados y Pensionados'' (National Institute of Social Services for Retirees and Pensioners, or INSSJP), PAMI serves senior citizens, the indigent, and veterans of the 1982 Falklands War.
PAMI maintains 36 regional offices and 550 local offices for its over 4 million enrollees. The agency provides free medicine to 650,000 pensioners and retirees, 87% of whom earn the minimum pension of around us$300 a month.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=La jubilación mínima subirá a $1.227 en marzo )〕 Another 13% receive a benefit of the high cost of their treatment, in cases where this exceeds a retiree's income. The agency covers 100% of the cost of drugs to treat cancer, AIDS, and other chronic medical conditions. Medications for hypertension, which affects nearly nine of out of ten seniors in Argentina, are covered with an 80% discount, including prescription drugs for cholesterol and cardiovascular disease.〔 The agency covers over 2,000 stent insertions annually,〔 as well as over 6,000 pacemaker implants (70% of those provided in Argentina).〔
PAMI covers around 25 million doctor's visits and nearly 2 million prescriptions annually.〔 Surgical procedures covered by the agency in 2009 included over 55,000 for cataracts, 50,000 intraocular lenses, 20,000 hip and knee surgeries, and 700 organ transplants.〔 Other benefits include kinesiology, legal aid, mental health, and funeral expense assistance.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Centros de Atención )〕 Benefits represent 10% of the total pension payments issued by ANSES, the national social security agency. The real market value of the medical services, medicine, and other services provided by PAMI, however, amount to 30% of retirees' income. the total expenditure on drugs for PAMI in 2010 was almost us$750 million; were retirees to pay the market price of these drugs, their cost would have approximated us$3 billion. Private health insurance is widely available in Argentina. The cost of premiums for those over age 60 would be unaffordable to most retirees, however, as these average around us$150 per person per month.〔
