The economic crises of the 1970s marked the end of the 'Golden Age'
of the welfare state and triggered a broad range of cost
containment measures in OECD countries. In the healthcare sector
the difficulties of cutting back state involvement are largely
caused by the fact that the legitimacy of health systems is based
on their capability to provide a satisfactory standard of
healthcare for all citizens, irrespective of their ability to pay
for it. Hence, the divergent healthcare system types of the heydays
of the welfare state which were characterized by the distinct role
of the state have now changed profoundly. Combining cross-sectional
studies on healthcare financing, provision and policy values with
in-depth country studies of Britain, Germany and the US, this
volume argues that divergent healthcare system types are now
converging toward hybrid forms.
