Contemporary Brazilian Healthcare Reform: Resistance or Consensus?

This article analyzes the contemporary ideological and political trends in Brazilian healthcare reform, which were formulated by collective political subjects who are members of the Brazilian Sanitary Reform Forum and the National Front against the Privatization of Healthcare. To conduct this analysis we conducted a bibliographic survey, document analysis and systematic observation of the defense of interests of collective political subjects. The study encompasses the time when the Workers Party (PT) governed Brazil from 2003-2012 and reveals the various healthcare reform projects that are in dispute, which move towards a consensus with resistance to inflections in the project.
