Among the struggles Shvarts explores in this penetrating study are the debate over immigration health policy and the Law of Return, enacted in 1950; the battles over universal health care between the Workers' Health Fund and the Israeli government led by prime minister Ben Gurion; the urgent organization of military medical services during wartime; and the contested establishment of renown civilian medical facilities. These early conflicts have had far-reaching implications that continue to be felt throughout Israeli society. While many European countries successfully established unified, state-run health care systems, Israel's political rivalries and social turbulence gave rise to a me?lange of 'sick funds,' large and small, public and private, that influence and complicate the delivery of health care to this day. 'Health and Zionism: The Israeli Health Care System, 1948-1960', sheds light on the major conflicts, leaders, and historic events that shaped the current Israeli health care system, and has relevance to developing health care systems worldwide. Shifra Shvarts is associate professor, Faculty of Health Sciences, Ben Gurion University, Israel, and is author of 'The Workers' Health Fund in Eretz Israel Kupat Holim, 1911-1937' (University of Rochester Press, 2002). 410 0$aRochester studies in medical history ;$v13. 517 3 $aHealth & Zionism 606 $aMedical care$zIsrael$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMedical policy$zIsrael$xHistory$y20th century 610 $aHistory of science 615 0$aMedical care$xHistory 615 0$aMedical policy$xHistory 676 $a362.1095694 700 $aShvarts$b Shifra$01023223 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996586268103316 996 $aHealth and Zionism$92430763 997 $aUNISA
