Therefore, the focus of this methodology is to highlight the similarities and differences parallel to both nations. Notwithstanding, in as much as Brazil and The U.S. constructed their health systems established on principles and foundations positioned by the State, hence, it is essential to emphasize that Brazil acquired, through the Federal Constitution of 1988, the coverage of a universal health system, on the other hand the USA is composed of a segmented health model. Thereby, the importance of this research is to present the impact that the consolidation of SUS has generated in society, consolidating the proposal towards the right to health as a foundation of the Brazilian Federation. Consequently, this behavior deprives the applicability of human rights through the right to health. Thereupon, this work comes from a qualitative nature of perspective, in which its standard is to present SUS as an innovative apparatus to health policies in Brazil.
