O Controle Jurisdicional de políticas públicas no tocante à saúde

Abstract

This article seeks to demonstrate the legitimacy of constitutionality control in Brazil in relation to public policies, more specifically health access policies. Considering that health is a fundamental right, the State must act in a positive way, as established in the Federal Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil of 1988, in the role of social rights, materialized with the Unified Health System as its main example. - how the Judiciary intervenes in this area always aiming at non-violation of rights, and clarifying to what extent the line of tripartition of powers is being violated, thus differentiating judicial activism from judicial protagonism and the consequences of this dichotomy. In order to analyze these questions, the article uses bibliographic and documentary revision method, using published academic texts, legislation, jurisprudence and doctrines as theoretical reference. Thus, this article evidences the need for the courts to act in these policies, given how indiscriminately these rights (health) are violated, due to the logical consequence of a state unpreparedness through its institutions and public agents.
