Abstract

A idéia que defende uma regulação dos planos de saúde em favor dos grandes players edo ?managed care? é incompatível com as diretrizes do Sistema Único de Saúde(SUS), por isso, defendemos a adoção de um tipo de ação regulatória em direção aofortalecimento da esfera pública. Em particular, apontamos como essa alternativapoderia capacitar a Agência Nacional de Saúde Suplementar (ANS) noenfrentamento da crise econômica do mercado de planos, desfazendo a ficção de queo mercado, uma vez fortalecido, vai cooperar com o SUS, ao invés de contaminá-lo.
