The commercialisation of health

Emiliano Peggion de Carvalho, Aline C F B Carmo

This work deals with society's relationship with health in general. It looks at the historical and social factors of how health has developed in the country and how, over time, it has become a market factor for society as a whole. Following in the same vein is the application of current legislation, namely the Health Plans Act and, as we have this as a consumer relationship, also the applicability of the Consumer Defence Code. In general, the aim is to understand how this consumer and supplier relationship between citizens and health plans interferes with life and social and market relations in contemporary society. The applicability of the Law must be observed in its most social factor, with the aim of realising its social and moral role, since health is a right for all, as governed by our Magna Carta, promulgated in 1988. Society is always yearning for better conditions, but even though individuals seek assistance from the private sector, it can be seen that these 'better conditions' are not always met.
