RESUMO
Resumo Apresenta-se a questão da judicialização do direito à saúde no Brasil, por meio da análise de estatísticas governamentais e revisão bibliográfica. Demonstra-se, a partir de dados do Conselho Nacional de Justiça, a existência de um incremento substancial no número de ações judiciais tratando do direito à saúde. Ressalta-se que a doutrina nacional discute efusivamente meios de tornar a prestação jurisdicional mais efetiva, mas não se discute, via de regra, o aspecto econômico da judicialização na saúde. Utilizando-se o conceito de custo de oportunidade, extraído da ciência da Economia, passa-se a demonstrar que o magistrado, ao deferir o pleito formulado pelo autor da ação judicial, automaticamente força o Poder Executivo a reduzir o escopo de outras políticas para gerar recursos visando custear o cumprimento da decisão judicial. Tal cenário, em determinados contextos, acaba por privilegiar o direito individual à custa dos da coletividade usuária do SUS, em ofensa ao princípio da isonomia e da eficiência. Por fim, apresenta-se o caso da judicialização promovida pelos pacientes hemofílicos no Distrito Federal como uma forma de demonstrar, no plano fático, as consequências da judicialização nas políticas do SUS.
ABSTRACT
Abstract This paper presents the issue of judicialization of the right to health in Brazil. Data from the National Council of Justice evidence a substantial increase in the number of lawsuits concerning the right to health. We emphasize that the national doctrine exhaustively discusses ways to make the authority more effective, but it does not, as a general rule, discuss the economic aspect of health judicialization. Using the concept of opportunity cost extracted from economics science, it is shown that the judge, by deferring the lawsuit formulated by the plaintiff, automatically forces the Executive Branch to reduce the scope of other policies to generate resources to meet the court order. In specific contexts, this setting ends up favoring individual rights at the expense of the collective rights of SUS users, in violation of the principle of isonomy and efficiency. Finally, the case of the judicialization promoted by the hemophiliac patients in the Federal District is shown as a way of evidencing, at the factual level, the consequences of judicialization in the SUS policies.
