After President Javier Milei stopped Argentina's federal agency (DADSE) that gave expensive medicines to 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 was cut by 48%, thousands of Health Ministry workers were fired, and programs for early cancer detection and vaccinations were 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 rising costs are making Argentina's healthcare system more like the U.S. model. Milei's staff cuts have made it hard to plan vaccinations and collect data, which happened at the same time as the country's first measles outbreak in many decades. These cuts have also led to more sexually transmitted infections, including a 20% rise in HIV cases and a 50% rise in syphilis cases. It is reported that over 60 cancer patients have died because the DADSE medicine program was stopped, and more than 1,500 patients are still waiting for their important drugs.
