A public option is a government-provided social good that exists
alongside a similar privately provided good. While the public
option is typically identified with health care policy, public
options have been a longstanding feature of American life in a
variety of sectors, ranging from libraries to swimming pools.
Public schools, for example, coexist alongside private schools.
However, there is surprisingly little research on 'public options'
as a general category. Rather, over the last few decades,
considerable scholarly and popular efforts to ensure access to
important social goods have focused on market subsidies (like
vouchers) or privatization - which both face increasing criticism.
Uniting scholars from across disciplines, this volume delves into
the theory of the public option, explores several important case
studies, and shows how public options could be a corrective to the
trend toward privatization and subsidies. This title is also
available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
