| Abstract (English): |
The essay indicates the main antecedents for the organization of the health system in Chile that is presently in force, with transformations following the country's coup d'état 50 years ago. It describes the recent debate over, and resistance to, the transformation and strengthening of the public system, with regard to controlling the health industry in the post-dictatorship, from the point of view of the sectors of economic power as well as the important viewpoint of the population, which in the face of a discouraged public health sector, seems to overlook the collective meaning of health care and the role of a state guarantor and protector of minimum social rights.

Este ensayo muestra los principales antecedentes sobre la forma de organización del sistema de salud en Chile, vigente con transformaciones desde el golpe de Estado que ocurrió hace 50 años en el país. Muestra el debate reciente por la transformación y el fortalecimiento del sistema público y la resistencia para el control del negocio de la salud en la posdictadura, de parte de los sectores de poder económico y de una parte importante de la población que, ante un desalentado sector público de salud, parece desconocer el sentido colectivo del cuidado de la salud y el rol de un Estado garante y protector de derechos sociales mínimos.
