Abstract

This article examines some structural elements with which the fight for the full right to health in Brazil faces, particularly after the SUS constitution in 1988. Two elements are essential: the internal conditions determined by intra-elite pacts that crystallized in the Brazilian political system their class power and the external conditions conditioned by the dominance of both finance capital and class fraction that imposes its domination on the world market system: the capitalist finance. To understand these elements is crucial to have an understanding of the conformation of what is called united front against the SUS, summarized today in the figure of the current interim minister of Health and in the market ambitions that his plans begin to satisfy
