This March 31, the agreements that PAMI has with laboratories and pharmacies for the provision of medicines to the 5 million members of that social work expire. For now there has been no official announcement, but it emerged that the agreement would be extended for a few months.

It is also circulating that the Government wants to make some modifications to the system. Each member has access to six free medications - 100% covered - per month. For the seventh medication onwards, the member (who has not completed a special procedure) pays a co-payment.
