36 Brazil Overview $1,083 Total Expenditure on Health Care per Capita, 2013 (USD) 2

37 Brazil Health Coverage Unified Health System (SUS) Created in 1988 Health is a right of every citizen, and a duty of the State Funded by federal, state, and municipal government No cost sharing Private system Approximately 20% of the population seeks coverage through private insurers Public health care is still accessible should you need to use it Several hundred firms offering four principal types of medical plans: private health insurance, prepaid group practice, medical cooperatives, and company health plans 3

38 Brazil Payers 4

39 Brazil Health System Challenges 93 percent of Brazilians say that both public and private health care are okay, bad, or terrible. Of those who use the public health care system, 87 percent expressed dissatisfaction. Of those surveyed, 62 percent said health care overall was bad or terrible. Those who identified health care as such tended to live in larger cities, have more education, and higher salaries. In the last two years, 92 percent of Brazilians used the public health care system, and 89 percent received assistance through this system. Most of those who had to wait to receive care (ranging from weeks to months) were women between 25 and 55 years old and of low income. Around 57 percent said that health should be the federal government's priority, compared to 18 percent for education and 8 percent for fighting corruption. But it's not just the public system. Around 70 percent of those with private health care plans said their care was bad or terrible. Around 47 percent said they would rather pay less taxes and buy private health care, and 43 percent said they'd rather pay high taxes and keep public care.
