The recent expansion of health insurance coverage in the USA under the Affordable Health Care Act, and current threats to reverse the benefits of this reform, have once again focused the world's attention on the difficult challenges faced by other countries trying to provide better access to healthcare to their population at an affordable cost. This textbook provides a comparative review of financing universal access to healthcare in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries.

The first two chapters of the book provide a framework for financing universal access to healthcare. The remaining eight chapters present case studies of eight OECD countries that have successfully introduced reforms to finance universal access to healthcare for their population through landmark legislative reforms. A concluding chapter focuses on the lessons learned from the OECD and recommendations from policymakers and others who are planning similar reforms. The book is designed as a learning tool for students and as a user guide for policymakers.

Contents:

  • Introduction
  • Principles and Practice
  • The UK
  • Canada
  • Australia
  • New Zealand
  • Denmark
  • Norway
  • Sweden
  • Finland
  • Summary of Lessons Learned

Readership: Graduate and research-level students and instructors of healthcare financing, healthcare policymakers, and healthcare professionals and investors.
Key Features:

  • The main distinguishing feature of this book is to compare OECD countries that have successful experiences in addressing the policy challenges and political process of expanding health insurance and financial protection against the cost of illness
  • The book is timely in terms of the current political and reform process in the US health reform process
  • The data analysis of the cost of universal health care presented in the book is unique and has not been published before
