| Summary: | This major new comparative text, which is aimed at both students and practitioners, analyzes key issues in health policy to assess the extent to which policy problems and responses in different countries have common causes or spring from specific national circumstances. It analyzes what lessons can be learned about public/private mixes, provision and funding frameworks, and acute and preventive services in a wide range of health systems - systematically comparing Australia, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Sweden, Singapore, the UK and the US, but ranging more widely as appropriate. |
