Health Care is a central pillar of the Welfare State, in fact, the
second pillar in terms of expenditure after pensions. However, we
know little about how they perform. European Health Care Systems
have been put increasingly under pressure during the last two
decades. They have had to face a quadrilemma: to control costs and
the increase in public expenditure; to guarantee equality of
access; to maximize the quality of care; and to guarantee the
responsiveness of the health system and the satisfaction of
patients and professionals working in the field. Achieving good
results on all these four objectives is extremely difficult and
often trade-offs arise among different objectives. Using in-depth
case study analysis on eight health care systems, belonging to
different Welfare State traditions, and comparative statistical
analysis on a broader group of countries, the book connects the
main policy reforms of the last two decades with how well these
systems perform, in terms of economic efficiency, medical
achievements, social inequalities, and patients' and workers'
conditions.
