Proponents claim that such a mix would improve both access and quality of health care. Opponents counter that it would create a two-tiered system, narrowing the range of options available to the lower socioeconomic segments of society and ultimately harming the equitable delivery of quality health care. This book presents empirical evidence on this contentious and highly politicized issue. Uniquely, it integrates qualitative and quantitative analyses of health care reforms at various stages of implementation in three countries of Latin America. The book sheds light on important issues pertaining to accessibility and equity and, in its approach, sets precedents and provides guidelines for further comparative work on health care reform. 606 $aHealth care reform$zArgentina 606 $aHealth care reform$zBrazil 606 $aHealth care reform$zMexico 615 0$aHealth care reform 615 0$aHealth care reform 615 0$aHealth care reform 676 $a362.1/098 701 $aTeixeira$b Sonia M.
