Most of these claimants are the regions with the lowest social vulnerability, according to a georeferencing analysis, the place where the treatment is taking place is a private hospital with a private doctor and the attorney is a private lawyer. In the first empirical analyse (Probit Models), at the city level, the probability of judicialization of the variables of access to SUS (negative), health expenditure (negative) and supply of doctors (positive). In the second analysis, the judicial demand requested by a public lawyer, though it is a small part of the total amount, is positively associated with greater vulnerability plaintiffs and a local public hospital or UBS (SUS physician prescription).
