O ativismo judicial no supremo tribunal federal na garantia do direito à saude

Abstract

The 1988 Federal Constitution contemplates a large list of fundamental rights and guarantees, being named “Citizen Constitution “. Social rights have its own chapter and the right to health constitutes a right of all and a duty of the state and society. When dealing with the right to health within the constitutional framework, enables the constitutional text that any violation or restriction of this right is enjoyed by the judiciary. This is the legalization of politics. Accordingly, we analyze the role played by the judiciary ones, mostly, the Supreme Court in the realization of the right to health , in light of their recent decisions requiring the Government to the formulation and implementation of public policies in health care . This is the phenomenon called judicial activism. In this context , we examine accurately the extent to which the judiciary , especially the Supreme Court is entitled to enter the merits of the public policy of the State to give greater effectiveness to the right to health . Similarly examines whether this new stance adopted by the Supreme Court does not violate the separation of powers constitutionally guaranteed.
