The note presents effects of the legal-parliamentary coup of 2016 and evaluates its reflections in the deep political, economic, and social crisis that plagues Brazil. It assumes the difficulty of projecting the future of the Sistema Único de Saúde (Unified Health System – SUS), which turns 30 years old in October, in this context. It reaffirms the impact of the freezing of public spending on social policies established in previous governments, and on how the reforms directly confront the Constitution of 1988, which had introduced the concept of health as a right and duty of the State. Finally, the note recalls the role of historical actors in building SUS and the importance of the mobilization of popular movements so that, before federal and state elections, it is possible to defend the SUS that is wanted.
