Jones Manoel stated that a technical note prepared by the Institute of Functional Finances for Development (IFFD) estimated the fiscal and social impacts of the adjustment measures announced by Flávio Bolsonaro's economic team. The projections for the next 10 and 20 years indicated a cumulative reduction of R$ 11 trillion, by 2046 and at today's prices, in spending on health, education, retirement, and BPC, compared to the current rules. Regarding the SUS, Manoel stated that, based on parameters from international scientific literature on the relationship between public spending on health and mortality, the study estimated 742,000 additional deaths that could be avoided in twenty years. According to him, the number could reach 1.14 million in the scenarios with the greatest impact. Manoel also said that, even with the measures, the announced adjustment target of 2% of GDP would not be achieved by 2034. He shared the note to receive criticism and contributions to the debate. https://t.co/iToXaFiANs #Finanças #Saúde #Economia (translated)
