- OSFA, created under DNU 88/26 as an autonomous insurer for the Armed Forces, replaced the old IOSFA structure and now operates under the Defense Ministry.
- Unpaid liabilities reported at more than 200 million pesos have stalled coverage nationwide and pushed more patients into Buenos Aires public hospitals.
