LIMA, Luciana Dias de. Fiscal federalism and decentralized SUS funding: balance of an expanded decade. Trab. educ. saúde [online]. 2008, vol.6, n.3, pp.573-598. ISSN 1981-7746.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1981-77462008000300010.

The article deals with the relationships between fiscal federalism and the decentralized funding of the Single Health System (SUS), from 1990 to the early 2000's, and singles out the problems of the Brazilian tax system, which is unable to compensate for fiscal unbalance among the different spheres of the government.

Keywords : fiscal federalism; funding of the Single Health System; decentralization of the health policy.
