Overview

International Health Care Reform examines the two models of health care reform - managed competition and internal markets - that are increasingly becoming the dominant paradigm in European and North American policy. Considering the experience of reform in the UK, US, Canada, the Netherlands and New Zealand, the author analyses which reform model is likely to efficiently ensure access for all citizens to a comprehensive range of services, and draws out the implications for policy. For those new to the area of health policy and health care reform, this book clearly illustrates; * the arguments in economics and social policy for government intervention * the structure and dynamics of health care systems * the new competition-oriented reform models For more advanced scholars, this book brings a unique and fresh perspective, drawing on the disciplines of law, economics and political science, to tackle intractable issues in the design of a health care system.
