Abstract:

The research investigated legislative propositions on single row for hospitalizations and ICU beds within the scope of the Federal Legislative Branch in the first year of the pandemic (2020). It was an exploratory study, qualitative and documentary basis, which analyzed law projects in the brazilian National Congress about the subject. The results were organized according to the authors\' profile and qualitative content of the projects. There was a predominance of male parliamentarians, affiliated with left wing parties and professional training in areas others than health. Most propositions dealt with a general single waiting list, specifying hospital beds, mixed management of hospital beds and indemnity through the UHS price table. The Chamber of Deputies presented more projects, but there are no progress in their processing. Among the analyzed projects, only one was prioritized in the External Commission to Combat Covid-19. It was concluded that the Federal Legislative Branch missed the chance, once again, to legislate for the future and prepare the country with a normative framework capable to facing health emergencies, but which will demand managers and the Unified Health System.
