Handing envelopes containing money or gifts to doctors in public
health care is often seen as a remnant of socialism that continues
as an integral part of the Lithuanian health care system. Rima
Praspaliauskiene uses the envelope to explore complex
doctor-patient interactions that go beyond notions of the gift or
the bribe. She reshapes our definition of corruption and encourages
seeing these practices as emerging forms of care that impede the
neoliberal health care reforms effected in the post-Soviet era.
Enveloped Lives extends the analytical categories of gift, care,
money, and transparency, shifting attention away from material
transactions by prioritizing relations and practices that transcend
economic rationality. At a time when health care reforms and the
costs of care are being widely debated, this book is a contribution
to the larger discussion about the ethics and future of health care
around the world.
