Abstract

The objective of this work is to discuss some current theories that analyze the model called neodesenvolvimentista brazilian, highlighting how the social issue is studied. In this context, we intend to also study the issue of health and its privatization process, including the public-private health financing and its new management models. To this end, we will have theoretical review on these themes, presenting the critical perspective, possible synthesis to understand the current situation of brazilian health. Treating health as a right in capitalist societies is a task that involves many actors, however, also involves what historically was built around the private ownership of health and its leading sectors. We note the transfer of public funds to encourage private sector health before and after SUS, and the transfer, in recent years, the public administration to the private sector. We observed that the neoliberal legacy of the 90s laid the foundations for the current economic model, reaching a compensatory way and limited to the lower classes, as well as the roots of social security, in which health is one of the faces affected by the contradictions of the system, being injured as the right to health.
