RESUMEN
El derecho a la salud ha sido fuertemente reconocido por los tribunales argentinos, pero lo cierto es que solo goza de dicho derecho quien tiene posibilidad de acceder a la justicia. Por lo tanto, los grupos tradicionalmente excluidos, que por diferentes motivos no pueden hacer oír sus reclamos en sede judicial, no se benefician con el reconocimiento logrado hasta ahora en las diferentes resoluciones judiciales. Teniendo en cuenta estas prácticas desigualitarias institucionalizadas se plantea aquí un modelo que implica entender el derecho a la salud como verdadero derecho. Para esto se realiza una distinción entre el derecho a la salud como regla (en lo que se refiere al contenido mínimo o esencial de dicho derecho) y el derecho a la salud como principio (respecto del contenido periférico), demostrándose así cómo el derecho a la salud considerado como regla y como principio podría llegar a otorgar mayor igualdad en el reconocimiento de este derecho respecto de los grupos desaventajados, que carecen de acceso a la justicia.
ABSTRACT
The right to health has been widely recognized in the Argentine courts, however only those who have the ability to access the justice system are able to fully enjoy that right. Therefore traditionally excluded groups, who for different reasons have not been able to make their demands heard in a judicial court, do not benefit from the recognition gained up to this point in the different judicial resolutions. Taking into account these institutionalized unequal practices, this article suggests a model for understanding the right to health truly as a right. A distinction is made between the right to health as a rule (understood as the minimum or essential core of that right) and the right to health as a principle (understood as the periphery of the right). In this way, it is shown how considering the right to health as both a rule and as a principle could offer greater equality in recognition of that right for disadvantaged groups that lack access to the justice system.
