That gets me the visa. Then it's not unusual to go have a (much less than pleasant) experience at border control. And I still I do not get health or human services. Don't worry about health and human services in Argentina: Things like healthcare and education are considered a right, rather than "goods" that you have to pay for. (Yes, you also have private/paid versions of those if you prefer).
