REDUCING REVIEW OF HEALTH CARE POLICIES?

DESJUDICIALIZANDO AS POLÍTICAS DE SAÚDE?
RICARDO PERLINGEIRO1
ABSTRACT
Contents of the lecture given in the Initiation Course for Judges, organised by the EMERJ
(School of Judicial Science of Rio de Janeiro), at the Court of Justice in Rio de Janeiro on
28 April 2015. The author takes an unconventional approach to the question of judicial
review of health care by trying to identify the path that will lead to reducing such
judicial review, i.e., a reversal of the current growth trend in the number of Brazilian
court cases involving the right to therapeutic assistance, which has quadrupled in the
past 4 years from approximately 100,000 claims in progress in 2010 to 400,000 in 2014.
Considering that the most perverse effect of judicial review of health is the resulting
disruption in the universality of access to health care services, with the creation of two
SUS (unified health-care systems one of them in favour of those who file court claims
and the other favouring those who do not, the text searches for solutions. The author in
some cases holds the public authorities responsible should be oriented towards the
supremacy of fundamental rights and not by the literal interpretation of the statutes and
regulations, at in other cases encourages judicial review of health policies but only
through class actions as a currently feasible alternative to fight against the repetitive
claims filed with the SUS, which has not yet realised the need for guarantees of true due
process of law even though such guarantees are called for by the Constitution and
applicable statutes.
Keywords: Judicial review of health. Public policies. Health care law.

Conteúdo da palestra ministrada no Curso de Iniciação dos Magistrados, organizado pela
Escola de Magistratura do Rio de Janeiro (EMERJ), na sede do Tribunal de Justiça, no Rio
de Janeiro, em 28 de abril de 2015. O autor aborda a judicialização da saúde a partir de
um ponto de vista contrário ao habitual, tentando identificar o caminho a percorrer para
uma desjudicialização, isto é, uma retração do aumento da quantidade de ações judiciais
sobre o direito à assistência terapêutica em curso no país, a qual qua driplicou, de
100.000 para 400.000 demandas aproximadamente entre 2010 e 2014. Considerando
que o efeito mais perverso da judicialização da saúde reside na ruptura da
