The article discusses the right to health as a fundamental element of European democracy, highlighting the crisis of the Italian public health system. The author describes three historical phases: the post-war period with the introduction of the universal right to health, the 1970s with the struggles for individual freedoms, and the phase beginning in the 1980s with the neoliberal transformation that reduced social equality and transformed freedom into economic freedom. The author shows how this evolution has led to the current situation in which individual freedoms are the privilege of the few, while social equality has been drastically reduced.

Abstract

The article discusses the right to health as a fundamental element of European democracy, highlighting the crisis of the Italian public health system. The author describes three historical phases: the post-war period with the introduction of the universal right to health, the 1970s with the struggles for individual freedoms, and the phase beginning in the 1980s with the neoliberal transformation that reduced social equality and transformed freedom into economic freedom. The author shows how this evolution has led to the current situation in which individual freedoms are the privilege of the few, while social equality has been drastically reduced.
