abstract: 'In theory everyone has the right to health. However, in reality many low

  income households are unable to fully access health services and

  therefore cannot fully claim their rights. Recently, in an attempt to

  overcome these limitations, health reforms in Chile under the Plan AUGE

  have proposed a series of legal entitlements to health care that are

  available to everyone regardless of income level. While this is an

  important starting point in ensuring more universal access to health,

  the process has raised a number of important issues, particularly on how

  these entitlements have been defined and how far they will be able to

  transform (gender) inequalities within the health system. Looking at

  this from a gender perspective enables us to see that despite the shift

  from a health care system based on redistributive rights towards one

  based on the right of recognition, certain sectors of the population

  remain excluded. Decision-making processes have remained technocratic,

  and women''s groups have been marginalized from the debate around the

  reform. Moreover, health policy makers continue to ignore the role of

  the unpaid care economy in health care provision. The current reform has

  served to reinforce the gender roles around health care.'
