Week # 4: health is hard here or health for all politics of blame, gender and. Health care for undocumented nicaraguan by kathryn goldade. Undocumented nicaraguan migrant women are regularly denied medical service from the state health system historically renowned for universal medical access. Medical citizenship denied to these women because of their immigrant status (or lack of documentation) and because they do not have work in the formal sector (and thereby covered by employer health care insurance plans) This article uses a critically interpretive medical anthropology approach to explore the gendered dimension, the limits of bio sociality and the broader historical process of costa rican health and economic reform. Isabel at 25 diagnosed with malignant uterine cancer and had a hysterectomy and has had difficulty obtaining post-operative care: only uninsured member of her family. Costa rica has an international reputation for achieving public health gains and for being a context of health without wealth.
