It contextualises the current scenario we face and then discusses the conflict over the distribution of wealth. Next, it brings the discussion of the coup and shows the various attempts to deconstruct the 1988 Constitution which culminate in Constitutional Amendment 95. In that scenario, it observes the perspectives for the Unified Health System (SUS) and calls for a resumption of the spirit of 1988.</p><p></p> 2019-02-06 03:10:03 Democracy Socioeconomic rights Capitalism Constitution and bylaws Unified Health System
