It is tackling objectives in phases. Initial goals are to address inequities and disparities in healthcare, strengthen the focus on primary care, reduce waiting time in the public sector, introduce more competition into the ISAPREs market, improve efficiencies and care for the evergrowing senior population. Among the new laws that are key to reform is what's known as the AUGE Plan (in English: the plan for universal access with explicit guarantees). AUGE specifies four basic guarantees for healthcare concerns related to 56 defined health conditions, based on the highest burden of disease, effectiveness of treatments and highest cost. Guarantees include: access, timeliness, quality and financial protection. Twenty four more conditions are slated for inclusion next year. In short, AUGE guarantees a basic, uniform benefit plan, which applies equally to beneficiaries of public and private insurers. "If you are a supporter of Chile's reforms, AUGE guarantees access and assures quality," says Bruce Pollack, president of AIHS and MHE editorial advisor. "Detractors refer to the methodology as rationing." One delegate, Gabriel Hanna, president and CEO of DC Chartered Health Plan based in Washington, D.C., says he does not believe that there is any competition between the public and the private healthcare sectors in Chile. "Those who can afford to buy private coverage will receive much better access—no waiting list—to a somewhat better delivery system. On the other hand, competition among private insurers seems to exist based on levels of care and price; however, with only 13 private insurers to serve the entire country, it appears to me that there is some competition, but it doesn't appear to be fierce," Hanna says. Chile has a public plan covering the majority of lives, but it is not driving the private plans out of business, according to delegate Margaret Murray, CEO, Association for Community Affiliated Plans also in Washington, D.C.
