After President Javier Milei stopped Argentina's federal agency (DADSE) from providing expensive medications for cancer patients, a secret Facebook group has started. This group connects people who have extra drugs with those who need them. Milei's strict budget cuts have greatly affected Argentina's public health system. The healthcare budget has been cut by 48%, thousands of Health Ministry workers have been fired, and programs for early cancer detection and vaccinations have been stopped. This situation has caused big price increases for prescription medicines and private health plans, going up by 250% and 118% respectively. Also, medical coverage for retired people has been much reduced. The lack of healthcare for everyone and the rising costs are making Argentina's healthcare system more like the U.S. system. Milei's staff cuts have made it difficult to plan vaccinations and collect data, which happened at the same time as the country's first measles outbreak in decades. These cuts have also led to a rise in sexually transmitted infections, with a 20% increase in HIV cases and a 50% increase in syphilis cases. It is reported that more than 60 cancer patients have died because the DADSE medication program was stopped, and over 1,500 patients are still waiting for their medicines.
