This book pinpoints the strengths and weaknesses of health insurance programmes in developed countries around the world and uses a lessons-from-abroad approach to offer suggestions for solving the current crisis in American health care financing. Going beyond a country-by-country description of health care systems, the author presents an in-depth analysis and comparison of administrative and financing methods used in both private and social insurance. He reveals how nationwide financing, particularly in countries with a mix of social and private coverage can help control costs, reduce paperwork, and minimize disputes. A range of topics - including methods of capping total expenditure, controlling the reimbursement of providers, and shifting some costs to patients - provides readers with a wider perspective on the pros and cons of various health care systems.
Part 1 Understanding health insurance: financial systems - an international overview; health insurance and social solidarity; coverage and access; the structures of health insurance. Part 2 Financing health insurance: social security payroll taxes; altering or replacing payroll taxes; flat-rate premium systems; government subsidies; transfers among insurance funds. Part 3 Health insurance benefits: physician services; hospital care; pharmaceutical drugs; dentistry services; mental health services; long-term care; adding new acute care benefits. Part 4 Reforming the health insurance system: cost containment; achievements and reforms; lessons for the United States. Appendices: principal countries studied; research methods; glossary of abbreviations.
