The role of government in medical care, however contentious and
bewildering, is increasingly important given that the finance of
medical care in Western democracies is now dominated by public
expenditures. Why do governments choose the medical programs they
do? How do particular struggles in medical care illustrate more
general political conflicts? This book stems from Marmor's
conviction that political science can provide answers to questions
such as these. Furthermore, the essays presented here demonstrate
that political analysis is a crucial element of any sensible
approach to policy making. The essays are grouped intro three
parts. Firstly, how the general findings of a political science
illuminate disputes over medical care. Secondly, looks at political
conflict in American medicine, such as paying doctors, representing
consumers and restraining inflation. Lastly, the essays tie
different sorts of political analysis to the appraisal of issues
such as national health insurance in the 1970s and procompetitive
reform in the early 1980s.
