Abstract
[Abstract]: The crisis of welfare states in Europe has offered a growing market
share to private health insurance companies. Health insurance is
currently one of the fastest growing branches of private insurance
business in developed countries. However, much remains to
investigate about the origin and evolution of the companies in this
sector. This article analyses the genesis, growth and organisational
changes of health insurance companies in Spain from the creation
of the first medical associations in the 1930s to the modern health
insurance companies of today. Spain represents an interesting case
study to investigate how changes in the public health model for the
long period under study allowed private companies to maintain a
changing relationship competitive and partnership with the state.
