RESUMEN
En el marco general de la actual 'Sociedad de la Información' y en el marco específico de la denominada 'gobernanza en salud'; reaparece el viejo problema de la atribución de responsabilidad individual en salud. Se presume que el mayor acceso al conocimiento y a la información sanitaria conlleva mayor responsabilidad individual sobre las elecciones de estilos de vida. Mi hipótesis general es que, bajo el discurso ideal de la autodeterminación informativa y la co-responsabilidad individual en salud-discurso propio de la gobernanza en salud-, se esconde la estrategia (neoliberal o libertariana) de limitación o negación de la atención de la salud pública en la responsabilidad individual ('the argument of desert'). Dicha estrategia justificaría los consiguientes recortes de poder distributivo del Estado en salud pública, reforzando las desigualdades sociales originales. Este discurso ignora que el acceso al conocimiento constituye un determinante social de la salud, y como tal, exige una estricta responsabilidad social en la prevención de la salud comunitaria (AU)
ABSTRACT
Within the general framework of present-day 'Information Society' and in the specific context of so-called 'governance in health', the old issue of individual attribution of responsibility in health comes back to the fore. It is presumed that wider access to knowledge and information on health-related matters implies greater individual responsibility on choices concerning life-styles. My overall hypothesis is that, behind the ideal discourse on informational self-determination and individual co-responsibility in health matters-a usual discourse in health governance-lies a (neo-liberal or libertarian) strategy of limitation or denial of public health care based on individual responsibility (the argument of desert). Such strategy would justify the corresponding cuts in the distributive power of the State in matters of public health, thus reinforcing original social inequalities. This discourse ignores the fact that access to knowledge is a social determinant of health and, as such, requires strict social responsibility in preventive care in matters of communitarian health (AU)
