Abstract:

The objective is to analyze the sociopolitical project of the Brazilian Health Reform Movement (MRSB), comparing the “original project”, prepared in the pre-constituent period, with the update in recent years, due to the change in the sociopolitical scenario and the rearticulation of the MRSB in the covid-19 pandemic. The methodology included the analysis of documents prepared by the main MRSB entities in the period 2013 - 2022, published on the CEBES and ABRASCO websites, in addition to 15 interviews with key informants. The analysis revealed similarities and differences between the original and current projects, highlighting that the current project remains aligned with the proposal for the “democratization of health”, that is, the defense of democracy, the universal right to health and the Unified Health System, but it deepened the debate about the role of the State in conducting the national development project and incorporated criticism of the financialization of health, in addition to including a set of proposals that make up the new generation of struggle for rights, based on the dynamics of contemporary social movements, as well as the recognition of environmental issues, in the countryside and in cities, a central theme in the face of the current crisis of global capitalism.
