Since the 1980s, Australians have had a system of universal health care that is often taken for granted. But the road there wasn't easy. Making Medicare is a comprehensive account of Australia's long, tortuous, and unconventional path toward universal health care-as it was established, abolished, and introduced again-and of the reforms that brought it into being. With its detailed investigation of the policy debates that have determined the shape of health care in Australia, this book is the most thorough survey of Medicare's history publ 606 $aMedical policy$zAustralia$xHistory 606 $aPublic health$zAustralia$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMedical policy$xHistory. 615 0$aPublic health$xHistory. 676 $a362.10994 700 $aBoxall$b Anne-Marie$01029183 701 $aGillespie$b James A$01029184 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453615503321 996 $aMaking medicare$92445455 997 $aUNINA
