Abstract

Objetivo: Evidenciar la concepción de justicia que presenta el actual sistema de salud colombiano, en su componente de aseguramiento y posterior acceso a servicios. El objetivo de este componente es llegar a resultados e impactos que alcancen la cobertura universal efectiva en salud como expresión de justicia social. Método: se realizó un estudio observacional descriptivo del componente de aseguramiento del Sistema General de Seguridad Social en Salud de Colombia (SGSSS) con miras a determinar, mediante el modelo de Tanahashi, si el sistema de salud ha logrado la cobertura universal efectiva. Resultados: la serie presentada nos muestra un comportamiento desigual por régimen de la cobertura universal, así como la persistencia de población pobre no asegurada y el poco efecto del aseguramiento como mecanismo para llegar a la cobertura universal efectiva en salud. Conclusiones: alcanzar la cobertura universal efectiva requiere de la exigencia de universalidad que nos plantea el filósofo John Rawls en su propuesta perfeccionista de justicia, donde la imparcialidad aplicaría, como idea central, para toda la población colombiana, sin tener en cuenta si es afiliado al SGSSS o si se es considerado como pobre no asegurado. Palabras clave Justicia social, seguridad social , equidad en salud, cobertura universal, sistemas de salud.

The aim of this component is to achieve results and impacts that reach effective universal health coverage as an expression of social justice. Method: An observational descriptive study of the Colombian General Social Security System in Health CGSSSH assurance component was conducted with the purpose, through the Tanahashi model, of determining if the health system has achieved effective universal health coverage. Results: The series presented shows an uneven performance by regime of universal coverage, as well as the persistence of uninsured poor population and little effect of insurance as a mechanism to reach effective universal health coverage. Conclusions: To reach effective universal coverage demands, the requirement of universality posed by the philosopher John Rawls in his perfectionist proposal of justice where impartiality would apply as the central idea for all the Colombian population regardless whether people are affiliated to the CGSSSH or are considered as poor uninsured people, is necessary.
