Descripción:This paper tackles the design and implementation of the medical cooperative model in Costa Rica between 1986-1990, through the decision-making process. It is argued that these cooperatives were created as a result of the state contraction process that limited institutional expansion, together with the climax of the concept of economic democracy and decision-makers exposure to international ties. In spite of institutional resilience to medical cooperatives, and the weaknesses of their design and implementation stage, this model has set in motion a hybrid social security trajectory, in which the incorporation of private providers mainly depends on decision makers’ interpretation of institutional unfeasibility.
