Abstract

The article raises the constitutional difficulty that is configured when it is verified that the systematic and historical crisis of the Colombian Health System has its origin precisely in the constitutional norm that legitimizes it; For this purpose, article 49 of the 1991 Constitution is discussed, which entailed the possibility of delegating to individuals what was once a public service provided exclusively by the State, which resulted in the issuance of Law 100 of 1993 and its regulatory decrees, which despite trying to structure a model of fair, universal and good quality health, seems to have failed in the attempt, without noticing an institutional and collective consensus through which we can talk about a profound reform to its structural axes, including the most damaging to the rights to health and life of citizens: leaving the whole system subject to market laws, which, despite jurisprudential attempts to restructure these roots, has allowed the The crisis is maintained over time, making it the biggest responsible for deaths in Colombian history.
