Abstract:

The connections between poverty and healthcare are noticed in Brazilian society\'s daylife and constitute a perverse context of social inequality. This article is a literature review about health policy, specifically about primary attention, highlighting the tensions between social issues, social rights, the current austerity policies and their implications in the healthcare of the poorest population. Since the 1988 Brazilian Constitution, a social pact that contradicts the austerity policies imposed by neoliberalism is established. With the aggravation of the capital crisis and the Constitutional Amendment 95/2016, the social protection policies based on social security, such as Unified Health System (SUS), are threatened, which brings serious consequences to the country\'s population. Even considering the achievements to the access of the poorest to healthcare, some barriers can be aggravated, risking the conquered healthcare rights. Therefore, if the Primary Healthcare can be considered a differentiated healthcare model, its connection with the social dimension can be reiterated, since the impact of the dismantling of social policies on the population\'s health is already felt.
