title: Expenditures in the health care system in Brazil: the participation of states and the Federal District in financing the health care system from 2002 to 2013.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To analyze the public expenditures of states on health care and the participation of states and the Federal District in financing the Unified Health System, better known by the acronym SUS. To develop the research, two targets were used: "to rescue expenses per government source (federal, state and municipal) during the period from 2002 to 2013" and "to rescue resource transfers from the federal SUS to the states and also to municipalities".
  
  
  METHODS
  This research is bibliographic, documentary and descriptive and used a quantitative approach. Data were extracted from the Information System Public Health Budget, and additional data were collected from the public managers of states, municipalities and the Federal District during the period from 2002 to 2013. Federal data from the Undersecretary of Planning and Budget (originally extracted from the Integrated System of Financial Administration of the Federal Government and available on the Budget Public Health System webpage) were also collected.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The data revealed that during the same researched period, the Federal District has maintained the health care system budget, whereas states and municipalities have increased their budgets for the same spending.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  By analyzing the results, there is clearly a disparity regarding the investment expended by the entities of the Federation. Although municipalities and states have gradually increased their application of resources to health care, the federal state has maintained the same budget. These results reveal a bit of concern about public health funding.
