ISBN: 9780815700258 / Angielski / Miękka / 1978 / 185 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the early 1960s America was in a confident mood and embarked on a series of efforts to solve the problems of poverty, racial discrimination, unemployment, and inequality of educational opportunity. The programs of the Great Society and the War on Poverty were undergirded by a broad consensus about what our problems as a nation were and how we should solve them. But by the early seventies both political and scholarly tides had shifted. Americans were divided and uncertain about what to do abroad, fearful of military inferiority, and pessimistic about the capacity of government to deal...

Can We Say No?: The Challenge of Rationing Health Care
ISBN: 9780815701217 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Over the past four decades, the share of income devoted to health care nearly tripled. If policy is unchanged, this trend is likely to continue. Should Americans decide to rein in the growth of health care spending, they will be forced to consider whether to ration care for the well-insured, a prospect that is odious and unthinkable to many. This book argues that sensible health care rationing can not only save money but improve general welfare and public health. It reviews the experience with health care rationing in Great Britain. The choices the British have made point up the nature of... Over the past four decades, the share of income devoted to health care nearly tripled.

ISBN: 9780815700500 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The United States spends more on health care than any other nation in the world, yet millions of Americans cannot afford basic care for acute illnesses, few are insured against the costs of long-term care, and many frequently used medical procedures have never been fully evaluated. The goals of controlling spiraling health care costs and extending insurance coverage or even maintaining current insurance coverage seem to be in conflict. But progress can be made on both goals if they are tacked together. Henry Aaron evaluates these critical issues and explores how adequate care can be provided...
