Novos possíveis para a militancia no campo da Saúde: a afirma？？o de desvios nos encontros entre trabalhadores, gestores e usuários do SUS

the authors make comments about militancy in the field of healthcare, especially for defending the brazilian unified health system (sus) as a universal public policy. after indicating some strategies for such militancy, the text discusses centralism and the identifying nature of these practices. it highlights and questions four forms of centralism: the "common good" in its representations; procedures as offers of health technologies; users and notions about their needs/demands; and careless protection of life. as an alternative, the authors propose a new form of militancy within sus, as intensive practice produced at the meeting point within the dimension of the relationship between managers, workers and users.
