The prime example is the rapid rise of private health insurance, which now constitutes a parallel system characterized by state subsidies for some and not for others. This functions as a kind of reverse means-testing, whereby primarily the upper classes get state support for new types of welfare consumption. Innovatively, Lapidus explains how such a parallel system requires not only direct and statutory state support but also indirect support, for example, from infrastructure built for the public health system. He goes on to examine how semi-private welfare funding is dependent on private provision and how the so-called 'hidden welfare state' gradually erodes the visible and former universal welfare state model, in direct contrast to its own stated goals. Who benefits from privatized welfare? How are the privatization of delivery and the privatization of funding linked? How does this impact public willingness to pay tax? All of these questions and more are discussed in this accessible volume.Social choiceWelfare economicsWelfare stateMedical economicsEducationEconomic aspectsSocial Choice and WelfareWelfareHealth EconomicsEducation EconomicsSocial choice.Welfare economics.Welfare state.Medical economics.EducationEconomic aspects.Social Choice and Welfare.Welfare.Health Economics.Education Economics.306.209485306.209485Lapidus Johnauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut998270BOOK9910349533803321The Quest for a Divided Welfare State2289754UNINA01497cam a22002897i 450099100311310970753620250430125953.0950318m17671775it a b 000 0 lat db14282720-39ule_instCICOGNARA-3390ExLBibl.
