O UNIVERSO DA DISCUTÍVEL UNIVERSALIDADE DO SISTEMA ÚNICO DE SAÚDE

The article discusses the questionable universality of the Unified Health System. First, it discusses the scope and understanding of the Right to Health, foreseen in the Federal Constitution, structured through the Unified Health System. Next, it highlights the importance of the public budget in health expenditures, especially the need to respect revenues, estimate expenditures and the corresponding allocation of resources. It then discusses the mixed system adopted in Brazil, as well as the participation of private companies in the provision of health services to understand the idea of universality of this right. Thus, it analyzes the sense of wholeness provided 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, pointing out the recognition of the aforementioned theory by the Federal Supreme Court in a general repercussion, concluding that it is not enough the pretension, but the reasonableness of what is sought of the State in the area of Health.
