National Health Accounts: A Tool for International Comparison of Health Spending --Contributors --IndexThis book offers a timely account of health reform struggles in developed democracies. The editors, leading experts in the field, have brought together a group of distinguished scholars to explore the ambitions and realities of health care regulation, financing, and delivery across countries. These wide-ranging essays cover policy debates and reforms in Canada, Germany, Holland, the United Kingdom, and the United States, as well as separate treatments of some of the most prominent issues confronting policy makers. These include primary care, hospital care, long-term care, pharmaceutical policy, and private health insurance. The authors are attentive throughout to the ways in which cross-national, comparative research may inform national policy debates not only under the Obama administration but across the world.Health care reformDeveloped countriesMedical policyDeveloped countriesSocial medicineDeveloped countriesHealth care reformMedical policySocial medicine362.1Marmor Theodore R.authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut320979Marmor Theodore R320979Freeman Richard(Professor of Social Science and Public Policy)1662064Okma Kieke G.
