This pathbreaking book investigates welfare state change in the
area of health care- a field widely neglected by comparative
welfare state research. While some work on health care expenditure
exists, health care rights have not been systematically studied
since social rights have exclusively focused on entitlement to cash
benefits. Addressing this research gap, BAhm analyses in what way
the social right to health care has been modified in the course of
general welfare state transformation since the late 1970s. Taking
England and Germany as examples, she assesses how health care
reforms conducted under the conditions of constrained budgets,
demographic ageing, and rapid medical progress, have altered access
to and generosity of public health care systems over the past 35
years. The book's findings significantly increase our understanding
of social rights and reveals fundamental differences of approach:
while Germany provides absolute and enforceable rights to health
care for each (entitled) individual, English social health care
rights are directed towards the population as a whole and
contingent upon the availability of resources, i.e. they are not
absolute and not enforceable. This distinction between individual
and collective social rights will be an important contribution to
the theory of social rights given its applicability to other types
of social rights and its usefulness in tracing changes in social
rights over time.
