The Brazilian Health Reform’s process needs the continuous monitoring of the Health Policy. So, the objective was to analyze the conjuncture and health policies in Brazil from June/2013 to March/2015. The study used documental research through the media, government programs of the presidential candidates and health associations documents was performed to identify the relevant facts and events for analysis. In June/2013 health was identified as a priority by protests, getting as government response the More Doctors Program. However, the Brazilian Health Reform and the SUS did not preponderate in the electoral debate of the presidency running, while the the private sector had predominant influence. Laws recently passed in Congress may indicate assimilation of Universal Coverage logic. Changes in economic policy and government priorities suggest regression of social rights and the need for re-articulation of civil society in defense of the universal right to health.
