• TITLE: The State-Form in the Context of the Polycrisis of Capital and Health Inequality: An Analysis of the Limitations of Public Health Policies in Brazil

  ABSTRACT: The article explores the relationship between the State-form and the polycrisis of capital, analyzing how health inequalities are deepened by the limitations of public health policies in Brazil. It is argued that the State-form, understood as a process derived from the value-form, prioritizes capital accumulation. This perspective is applied to examine the limitations of policies aimed at the Unified Health System (SUS) in reducing inequalities. Key issues include the defunding of SUS, the commodification of healthcare, and the impact of restrictive fiscal policies on the health system. The analysis reveals the interconnections between economic, ecological, and social crises, suggesting that the contemporary capitalist model exacerbates the precariousness of access to healthcare, especially among the most vulnerable populations.
