Abstract:

This paper aims to identify new sources of income for the additional allocation of resources to meet the population\'s health needs fixed in federal budget expenditures, in the context of the Unified Health System (SUS) underfunding process and the negative effects of Constitutional Amendment 95/2016 to this process – verified decrease in the proportion of federal net current revenue destined for SUS. From this perspective, it is necessary to address the problem of underfinancing by linking the search for additional resources with new sources of financing with actions and public health services that will be improved, expanded and created, whose criteria are: regarding sources, exclusivity for SUS, nonregressive taxing and review of revenue waiver; and, regarding uses, prioritization of primary care as reference of the health care network and appreciation of civil servants. The result calculated for the sources rangedR$ 92 billion to R$ 100 billion, higher than the R$ 30.5 billion calculated for uses under the terms described. Documentary research was conducted to collect datasecondary sources, especially in the reports sent to the National Health Council by the Ministry of Health.
