Trata do papel dos movimentos sociais em saúde no processo de reformulação da política de saúde, plasmado na Constituição de 1988 e denominado de Reforma Sanitária brasileira. Os percalços da sua implementação são analisados no contexto do processo de democratização do País ocorrido nos últimos 10 anos. A autora contribui para a interpretação da problemática da saúde no Brasil contemporâneo, sem a qual não se pode falar em democracia e cidadania. Através da leitura deste trabalho, os cientistas políticos e os profissionais de saúde poderão refletir acerca do lugar que ocupam no sistema e nos serviços de saúde, bem como das articulações de suas representações com a política de saúde.
