A desinformação da população acerca do pleito de medicamentos no judiciário.

Abstract

This final paper focuses on the investigation about the reluctance of the government to promote the fundamental right to health, in a way that demonstrates a lack of interest in informing the population about the possibility of claim this right through the judiciary and does not, somehow, avoid that families enter the situation of misery so that they can get enough money to pay for medical and hospital treatments for their sick members. The objective is to understand the reasons that lead the public administration to not to give due publicity about the constitucional duty to promote life and health in a free and universal way, as well as to understand the evolution of the right to health in Brazil, analyze the jurisprudence of the Federal and State Courts, as well as to understand the functioning and social function of the Unified Health System. In these terms, the reason for the reluctance of federated entities to pay for medical treatments is questioned, so that it does not even promote information to the population about such a possibility, allowing people to get rid of what they have built during a lifetime to afford something that is mandatory. of State. For the elaboration of the work, the method used was the deductive one, with research done through bibliographical research that approaches the subject, as well as research in the Brazilian legislation. The research allowed an in-depth approach to the constitutional principles that guide the right to health, as well as the organization of the Unified Health System, concluding that there is a need - and possibility - to have greater investment in permanent public policies aimed at information on the population about the possibility of a lawsuit to satisfy the health right.
