[The use of medication in the perception of users Hiperdia Program].

This article discusses the question of access to medication as a social right, investigating how users registered in the Hiperdia program perceive their access to medication. To achieve this, the process of "medicalization" experienced by Brazilian society today was assessed, highlighting the influence that this process has on access to medication, prejudicing the achievement of universal and equalitarian access. Using a technique recommended by qualitative research, focal groups with Hiperdia users in the basic health service of Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais, Brazil, were set up.

[Travelling citizens: the 'users' of the Brazilian Unified Health System and the meanings of its demand to the health care emergency services in the context of a process of assistential model reorientation].

Despite the emphasis of the territorial logic on the first level of the public health services network, the users of this health system come demonstrating a historical preference by emergency services. In order to try to understand this behavior, a Qualitative Research was developed, by means of interviews with 'Foci Groups' of public health services users, where it was searched to know their experiences, perceptions and opinions, looking for understanding how do they choose during their search for assistance. The users reject the 'norm' that defines the basic health care services of their territorial reference as their 'entrance door', in favor of other parameters that were more significant for them.
