This book represents the first comparative study of how health
policy is made in leading industrial nations. Using detailed case
histories of the UK, the US and Germany, it shows that health care
systems and modern states are indissolubly bound together. The
author explains how the health care state originated before the
rise of democracy, and demonstrates that it has had to confront the
twin pressures of democratic politics and competitive capitalism.
It focuses on three important arenas of health care politics--the
government of consumption, the government of doctors, and the
government of medical technology--and illustrates how these three
arenas intersect.
