No area of social welfare in Australia has seen as much conflict as
health policy. Clashes have involved the medical profession,
bureaucrats, friendly societies and political parties, often to the
detriment of the patient. This 1991 book provides background to the
current debate by studying the political conflict over health
policy in Australia from 1910-60. It looks at both state and
national levels for the origins of the system of publicly
subsidized private practice epitomized in the fee-for-service
scheme. The different currents within state policy are analysed
along with the various obstructions to the development of the
national health insurance policy. The role of the British Medical
Association, which in its indigenous form continues to have a
hostile relationship with the government because of its
determination to maintain its independence and fee-for-service
practices, is closely examined. The Price of Health will be of
particular interest to health policy makers.
