Abstract

This paper aims to analyze how the foundations of the current Spanish health model were developed and debated in Parliament from the beginning of the democratic transition until the approval of the General Health Law in 1986. During this period there was an important political debate on the model of the health system in Spain that orbited around the role that the State should represent in the management, financing and provision of services and its competence or cooperation with the private sector. The study shows that the health debate has been carried out by two different models of health that have been faced from the first moments of the transition to the present. The wound between these two factions remains open and the global consensus far from being reached.
