Justice and Profit in Health Care Law: A Comparative Analysis of the United States and the United Kingdom de Dr Sabrina Germain

Justice and Profit in Health Care Law: A Comparative Analysis of the United States and the United Kingdom

Autor Dr Sabrina Germain
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 mar 2019
The issue of justice in the field of health care is becoming more central with concerns over access, cost and provision. Obamacare in the United States and the Health and Social Care Act 2012 in the United Kingdom are key examples illustrating the increasing pressure put on governments to find just and equitable solutions to the problem of health care provision. Justice and Profit in Health Care Law explores the influence of justice principles on the elaboration of laws reforming health care systems. By examining the role played by key for-profit stakeholders (doctors, employers and insurers), it tracks the evolution of distributive norms for the allocation of health care resources in western welfare states. Essentially, this book sheds light on the place given to justice in the health care law-making process in order to understand the place we wish to give these principles in future health care reforms.

Recenzii

This book makes an interesting and timely contribution not only to better understanding of important health care reforms in the two countries analyzed, but more broadly to the literature in the field of privatization of health care.
In her book, Sabrina Germain takes us on a fascinating journey through the lawmaking process of seven healthcare policy reforms that occurred between 1946 and 2012 in the United States and the United Kingdom ... This book certainly is a wonderful contribution to the literature on healthcare law.
