Reform of the welfare sector is an important yet difficult
challenge for all countries in transition from socialist central
planning to market-oriented democracies. Here a scholar of the
economics of socialism and post-socialist transition and a health
economist take on this challenge. This 2001 book offers health
sector reform recommendations for ten countries of Eastern Europe,
drawn consistently from a set of explicit guiding principles. After
discussing sector-specific characteristics, lessons of
international experience, and the main set of initial conditions,
the authors advocate reforms based on organized public financing
for basic care, private financing for supplementary care,
pluralistic delivery of services, and managed competition.
Policymakers need to achieve a balance, both assuring social
solidarity through universal access to basic health services and
expanding individual choice and responsibility through voluntary
supplemental insurance. The authors also consider the problems that
undermine effectiveness of market-based competition in the health
sector.
