As the dissolution of the Armed Forces and Security social security system - IOSFA - unfolds, complaints are escalating among affiliates regarding service cutbacks and lack of attention across entire provinces. The IOSFA, which catered to around 550,000 people and is now in liquidation, has a deficit exceeding 200 billion pesos, raising concerns over how the government will address these substantial debts with service providers.

In Mar del Plata, a significant demonstration took place where dozens of affiliates, numbering approximately 16,000 in the city, gathered in front of the military social security office to protest service interruptions by the last remaining private healthcare provider. Furthermore, reports from the Association of Non-Commissioned Officers of the Armed Forces and Security (Asuba) indicate that services and treatments are suspended in the province of Formosa, further highlighting the growing discontent among service users about the current healthcare service landscape undergone major changes.

This situation not only raises questions about the operational viability of the newly formed entities meant to replace IOSFA but also places significant pressure on the government to find solutions for its affiliates. With many facing halted treatments and financial burdens, the lack of clarity around service continuity and financial obligations could have broader implications on public trust in military healthcare services in Argentina, which historically have been a significant part of social security in the country.
