The Brazilian society observes with perplexity and indignation the recklessness of the government with society s most precious right – public health. Human life – the government s main concern – is disrespected on a daily basis by the long cues in public hospitals, lack of medication, beds, doctors and nurses. Meanwhile, the right to public health lies still on one of its founding principles and does not meet the urgent needs of the people. Taking into consideration this suffering scenario, it is increasingly vital to analyze the Law with basis on the philosophical and critical premises. Surely, one cannot understand legal knowledge as set in a single dimensional criterion that only takes into consideration the theoretical and/or practical contributions of this area of knowledge. The inclusion of principles, pondering, intention of correction, legal argumentation in the Constitution aligned to the constitutionalization of the Law and of the strengthening of the constitutional jurisdiction, present a bolder legal system duly prepared to materialize the will of the Constitution and that of Brazilian society. All in all, the main goal of this study is to bring innovative ideas to the concretion of the right to health through the postulates which are defined as contemporary constitutional thinking. These thoughts are known to be more progressive and for this reason we end using Alfonso s Figueroa s neoconstitutionalism proposal as a theoretical reference, as well as further valuable contributions of main and most recent theoretical critics.
