Chile’s health insurers win back lost membership numbers

However, the ISAPRES still only cover about 17% of the population, compared to the peak of 27% in 1997

Although results for the first half of 2007 were down, and market indications are that the trend continued in the third quarter of the year, Chile’s private health providers (ISAPRES) continued to benefit from the increase in their membership numbers. If anything, the pace is quickening, as more than half of the 121,000 additional subscribers recruited since the trough of 2004 joined in the first 11 months of 2007 alone.
