PART ONE: INTRODUCTION -- Goals, methodology, state of the art -- The conceptual framework -- PART TWO: A QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF HEALTH CARE FINANCING AND SERVICE PROVISION IN THE OECD WORLD -- Health care financing -- Heatlh care service provision -- PART THREE: IN-DEPTH COUNTRY STUDIES -- Germany: A social insurance system sandwiched between growing competition and the shadow of hierarchy -- United Kingdom: The NHS -- persistently strong state, increasingly strong market? -- United States: The coincidence of markets and hierarchies in a private health care system -- Changing values: Health policy in Germany, the UK and the US -- PART FOUR: CONCLUSIONS -- The transformation of ideal types into mixed regimes.

The economic crises of the 1970s marked the end of the 'Golden Age' of the welfare state and triggered a broad range of cost containment measures in OECD countries. In the healthcare sector, cost containment is difficult to execute as the legitimacy of healthcare systems is based on their ability to provide satisfactory healthcare. Hence, reforms have gone beyond mere retrenchment and the divergent healthcare systems of the heydays of the welfare state, which were characterized by the distinct role of the state in financing, providing and regulating healthcare, have now changed profoundly. Combining cross-sectional studies on healthcare financing and provision with in-depth country studies of Britain, Germany and the United States, this volume argues that divergent healthcare system types are now converging toward hybrids forms.

520 $a "Since the 1970s the state has witnessed significant challenges to its control over social policy institutions in the arena of health care. Examining these changes in comparative perspective, this volume provides a quantitative overview of financing, regulation and service provision for 21 OECD countries, with an in-depth qualitative analysis of three cases -- the US, UK and Germany. The book argues that healthcare systems are converging towards mixed regimes and that this marks a new era in welfare state history"-- $c Provided by publisher.
