LEAL FERNANDEZ, Gustavo. Social protection in health? Neither "safe" or "popular". Estud. polít. (Méx.) [online]. 2013, n.28, pp.163-193. ISSN 0185-1616.

In the landscape of social security and health care reforms of the near past of Mexico -IMSS, 1995; ISSSTE, 2007, and SSA, 2004- this article reflects about the design fails of the Popular Health Insurance (Seguro Popular), the main health program of Vicente Fox (2000-2006) and its extension by Felipe Calderon administration (2006-2012) named Health Insurance Program for a New Generation (Seguro Médico para una Nueva Generación). The impact of both programs over the federalism -taking as case the southern state of Guerrero- and the real efforts to get a better quality in medical care are also part of its principal inquiries.

Palabras llave : social security; health; social protection in health; federalism; quality of medical care.
