Analysis of the programs of majority coalitions presented at the 2014 elections and the Brazilian Health Reform

ABSTRACT

The aim of this work was to analyze the vision of the three most voted coalitions in the presidential elections in 2014, seeking to identify approximations and distances regarding the Brazilian Health Reform (RSB) project. It uses as sources the programs registered in the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) and its updates available in the electronic pages of the candidacies and the proposals of the movement of the RSB, systematized in the Report of the 8th National Health Conference, of 1986. We conclude that the programs of the three coalitions, with variations, adhere to the neodevelopmental perspective, distinct from the liberal, social-democratic and socialist perspectives. They consider that the State should intervene to ensure the expansion of consumption and reproduction of capital, a different conception of the RSB that defends the right to health and universal access to services, with progressive nationalization of the health system, evidencing the distance between the Programs presented and the principles, guidelines and values that sustain the RSB process.
