The Universe of the Debatable Universality of the Unified Health System Marco Antonio Barbosa de Freitas, Amelia Cohn, Rosa Maria Ferreiro Pinto, Rita Navarro

Abstract

The article addresses the debatable universality of the Unified Health System. As a preamble, it discusses the scope and understanding of the Right to Health, provided for in the Federal Constitution, structured through the Unified Health System. It then analyzes the meaning of comprehensiveness provided for in the constitutional norm, whose recipient is the person and not the service. Finally, it establishes the dichotomy between the theory of the reserve of the possible and the existential minimum, concluding that the claim is not enough, but the reasonableness of what is expected of the State in the area of ​​Health.
