Abstract
Objective: to analyze and discuss ways of community participation in proposing health-related laws in the federal legislative body represented by the House of Representatives and the Federal Senate. Methods: an exploratory research was carried out in the database of the two legislative houses in the bills considered popular initiative in the area of health, to know their material content and procedure. Results: there is a small number of legislative proposals on the initiative of the people on health in view of the lack of knowledge of the citizens and the low interest of parliamentarians on these participation committees. Conclusion: Although guaranteed, the instrument of popular initiative in health is still little used in Brazil and there is no sign of parliamentary support for such initiatives.
