International Health Care Reform

<p>This book analyses the wave of competition-oriented reform by comparing internal market reform (proposed in publicly-funded health care systems) with managed competition reform (proposed in systems with a mixture of public/private financing) and the role of managed care in each of these reform theories. <br><em>International Health Care Reform </em>clearly explains the arguments in economics and justice for intervention by governments in health care markets; the structure and dynamics of health care systems; and the features of competition-oriented reform models. The book will appeal to students and researchers involved in health policy studies public health and health economics. It will also be a valuable read for policy-makers internationally.</p>
