Abstract: The implementation of the Brazilian public universal health care system in 1988 denominated "Sistema Unico de Saude" was followed by an expressive expansion of private insurance coverage in the 1990's. Even if all public health expenditures had been exclusively directed to the population without any private insurance, these people's health expenditures would only reach 43% of the health expenditures of those with private insurance.

“…Para se ter uma idéia da magnitude do fenômeno, o gasto com saúde nas empresas já no ano de 1996, foi estimado em 0,7% do PIB (Corrêa, Piola & Arilha, 1998).
