Executive Summary
The Brazilian government is confident that the chamber of deputies is ready to approve so-called "Constitutional Amendment 29" (EC 29), which resets healthcare financing thresholds, raising around R$17bn (US$9.1bn) per year in extra funding. Its passage to the Senate, which could take place by early September, will mark the final stage of a nine-year-long parliamentary debate.
