Amidst a national conjuncture strongly characterized by the competitiveness, performativity and meritocracy ethos, it would be strange if public policies that cost so much to the population, such as education and health, were not ran over. It is about giving room to privatization without much embarrassment, taking away from the Brazilians (particularly the most socially weak ones) the right to have a dignified and safe future. We watch, still perplexed, but outraged, the dismantlement of our fragile democracy. How will we behave when faced with the discontinuities of the More Doctors Program (PMM) or, what is worse, with its pseudo-maintenance of convenient arrangements? One of the pillars that is most at risk is medical education. Consequently, so are its regulating public policies. The discontinuities that are already in progress foreshadow the future elimination of the recently implemented transformations.
