The Economic Evolution of American Health Care: From Marcus Welby to Managed Care
ISBN: 9780691102535 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The American health care industry has undergone such dizzying transformations since the 1960s that many patients have lost confidence in a system they find too impersonal and ineffectual. Is their distrust justified and can confidence be restored? David Dranove, a leading health care economist, tackles these and other key questions in the first major economic and historical investigation of the field. Focusing on the doctor-patient relationship, he begins with the era of the independently practicing physician--epitomized by Marcus Welby, the beloved father figure/doctor in the 1960s...

Toward a Healthy Society: The Morality and Politics of American Health Care Reform
ISBN: 9780700610143 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Few issues concern the American public today more than health care. Just ask anyone who has sat for hours in an HMO waiting room or made countless phone calls trying to have a claim settled-or anyone who can't get coverage. But whenever basic reform is proposed the insurance industry opens a massive campaign against it. Health care today is part of big business, which in defeating the Clinton plan successfully pushed any kind of basic reform off the political agenda. Continuing citizen support for some form of public insurance is, says Milton Fisk, a sign that basic reform is still...

The New Politics of State Health Policy describes many of the major trends in states' responses to health care...

Governing the Health Care State

This book represents the first comparative study of how health policy is made in leading industrial nations. Using detailed case histories of the UK, the US and Germany, it shows that health care systems and modern states are indissolubly bound together.

It focuses on three important arenas of health care politics--the government of consumption, the government of doctors, and the government of...

Mortal Peril: Our Inalienable Right to Health Care?
ISBN: 9780738201894 / Angielski / Miękka / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Most Americans assume that universal access to health care is a desirable and humane political goal. Not so, says distinguished legal scholar Richard Epstein. In this seminal work, he explodes the unspoken assumption that a government-administered, universal health-care system would be a boon to America. Basing his argument in our common law traditions that limit the collective responsibility for an individual's welfare, he provides a political and economic analysis which suggests that unregulated provision of health care will, in the long run, guarantee greater access to quality medical care...

Steps on the Road to Medicare: Why Saskatchewan Led the Way
ISBN: 9780773525504 / Angielski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this title, Stuart Houston shows that Saskatchewan has led in the development of publicly funded health care since 1915. Among Saskatchewan's many firsts were the payment of municipal doctors, the development of municipal hospitals, and advances in the treatment and prevention of TB. Given this background of leadership, it was logical for North America's first social democratic government, the CCF, to go further, beginning with medical care for pensioners and widows. This was quickly followed by a comprehensive health care plan. Province-wide hospitalization insurance was put in place in...
