Introduction: the judicialization of health is an alternative to the health services in Brazil, despite criticism of judicial decisions and control of public health policy. The large number of actions that demand health services is a health problem that characterizes the political, social, ethical, legal, and health systems of the Public Health Policy. Objective: to analyze the judicialization of health care in the Acre State, Brazil, from 2010 to 2016. Methods: it is a documentary and cross-sectional study of collegiate decisions, with final judgments, in the period from 2010 to 2016, issued by the Court of Justice of the State of Acre, Results: all proposed actions were Writ of Mandamus. The use of preliminary injunction was the most common strategy (n = 34; 94.44%). One third of the respondents were not questioned by the State of Acre (n = 9; 25%) as decisions of the Court of Justice on health concern medicines, examinations, and procedures, in these cases, it only manages interests, with no litigation per se. (n = 25, 69.44%). Men and women demanded in the same proportion, all of them characterized by living in poverty (n = 28; 77.78%). Conclusion: the collective health decisions handed down by the State Court of Justice Acre, Brazil, guarantee access to health goods and services to the claimants, with emphasis on preliminary injunctions and grounds based on the principle of human dignity, physical integrity and life, and on medical prescriptions in each specific case and, in a third of the cases, serving as a mere administration of interests.

The paper is structured into four parts. Firstly I discuss the connection between the concept of injustice and the idea of human or individual rights. The claim is quite trivial: the language of rights has been and is still used as a strategy to demand correctives against injustice. Since this strategy has negative effects, of which concrete examples are given, I suggest a different grammar be adopted, the grammar of needs, which is what societies adopt in their justificatory discourses anyway. This leads into a consideration of how social criticism could start precisely from such discourses and why, under specific circumstances, the grammar of needs could represent a better strategy for this criticism than the language of rights does.

O tema saúde suplementar está cada vez mais presente na vida dos brasileiros, dada a necessidade de busca por serviços particulares em matéria sanitária, suplementando os serviços públicos. Além disso, o último relatório divulgado pela Agência Nacional de Saúde Suplementar (ANS), em 2022, referente a dados de 2021, são mais de 60 milhões de usuários vinculados a planos de saúde no país. E numa proporção ainda maior, as demandas judiciais relacionadas a pleitos que envolvem operadoras privadas que prestam serviços de saúde vêm crescendo, assoberbando a segunda instância do Judiciário cearense. Assim, tem-se o objetivo de produzir um trabalho que discuta criticamente e de forma propositiva sobre a judicialização da saúde suplementar no âmbito da corte estadual do Ceará, utilizando como referencial teórico leis, doutrina, jurisprudência, bem como atos normativos e dados de órgãos públicos. Portanto, surge a necessidade de um debate que vise à criação de uma câmara especializada em saúde suplementar e aplicação de métodos consensuais de solução de conflito, no âmbito do Tribunal de Justiça do Estado do Ceará (TJCE), a fim de contribuir para uma justiça mais célere e eficiente, de modo a garantir o direito fundamental à saúde, previsto na ordem constitucional de 1988.
