Abstract

The Health Unified System is a result of the social fights occurred in Brazil during the decades of 70 and 80 of the twentieth century. Their main goals were the enlargement of the right of health notion and the overcoming of the differencial access of Brazilian people in relation to medical care. The creation of an institutional space in which these goals could become reality was the greatest achievement of those fights. After the period of its institutionalization, this structured and structuring space of the Brazilian citizens? action towards health reveals the inability in concreting those objectives. In this setting, the individuals? experience and the rules that try to materialize those old ideals show some recurrent tension spots in relation to the possibility of the right of attention and the health recovering efetivation. By fixing in the question of how the user-citizens are or not conquering the service, it was not possible to escape from the unavoidable restatement of the public health system inadequacy. Characteristic that, in its turn, indicates the maintenance of the differencial access standard in relation to the goods and services addressed to the individual health regaining, since the Health Unified System (SUS) space is still the space of the poor or of those in a social vulnerability situation.
