Description:

This text explores the deep-rooted tensions between publicly-funded health care systems and the dynamics of public markets to deliver privately-financed health care. It also reflects on the challenges facing health care in advanced economies.

Synopsis:

Health Reform explores the challenges facing health care provision in the advanced economies. The book exposes the limitations of market-led health reform and demonstrates the indispensable role of a vibrant public authority in the renewal of modern health care systems. Issues covered include: * cost-containment and privatisation strategies in an international perspective * the role of business and the private sector in setting the agenda for health care reform * the restructuring of Anglo-Saxon health systems and the shift in state/market boundaries in Canada, the USA, the UK and Australia * the frontier of health care reform in terms of health and social cohesion *the role of patient choice in health care reform.
