Abstract
[Abstract:]Using new statistical data on financing, coverage and economic and health care
provisions, this article analyses how sickness insurance was introduced, managed
and extended in Spain, under the Franco dictatorship, between 1939 and 1962. This
article highlights how the dictatorship accelerated its implementation for political
motives and this resulted in a failure of the system due to the lack of public financing
and the high pharmaceutical, medical and infrastructure costs
