Abstract

The Law 16/2012, of April 20, has changed the legislation on immigration and health care in Spain. One of the measures adopted is the limitation of health care and the denial of health insurance cards to undocumented immigrants. In this text the author analyses the application of the Law as an inadequate measure for limiting the right to health. Furthermore the author examines the different reactions of the Autonomous Communities to the reform and the possible invasion of the basic state legislation through regional rules which expanded the health care services to irregular immigrants.
