Abstract (English): This paper is situated on the field of study of the working/productive process and the technological transition in health care. It examines the entrance of financial capital groups in the health sector and their struggles with the medical-industrial complex. It puts forward a comprehension of how the capitalist sectors, leaders of the restructuration of the working process in health, bet on the power of the creation of new subjectivities in order to transform and consolidate the current hegemonic medical model and the production/reproduction of the ways of the capitalism's agency role. We use the concept of biomedicalization to understand a radical stage of medicalization, a commonly used concept, albeit insufficient to understand the observed changes. The comprehension of these phenomena allows the recognition of resistances and "lines of flight" that could allow for non-mercantilist options in health, which may create autonomy and reinforce the value of individual and collective life.

Abstract (Spanish): Este artículo se sitúa en el campo de estudio de los procesos productivos y de la transición tecnológica en el cuidado de salud. Examina la entrada del capital financiero en el sector salud y sus disputas con el complejo médico-industrial. Avanza en la comprensión de cómo los sectores capitalistas, que lideran la reestructuración productiva en salud, apuestan a la potencia de los procesos de creación de nuevas subjetividades en la transformación y consolidación del actual modelo médico hegemónico y en la producción/reproducción de modos de agenciamientos capitalísticos. Usamos el concepto de biomedicalización para entender la radicalización del proceso de medicalización, concepto que se viene mostrando insuficiente para comprender los cambios observados. Comprender estos fenómenos facilita reconocer resistencias y líneas de fuga que posibilitan apuestas no mercantilistas en salud, creadoras de autonomía y valorización de la vida individual y colectiva.
