Introduction: Marrying human rights and health care systems: Contexts for a power to improve access and equity / Colleen M. Flood and Aeyal Gross -- Litigating a right to health care in New Zealand / Joanna Manning -- The right to health in Sweden / Anna-Sara Lind -- Litigating health rights in Canada: A white knight for equity? / Colleen M. Flood -- Promoting access and equity in health: Assessing the national health service in England / Christopher Newdick -- Colombia's right-to-health litigation in a context of health care reform / Everaldo Lamprea -- The right to health in Israel between solidarity and neoliberalism / Aeyal Gross -- Health care access in the Netherlands: A true story / Andre den Exter -- Addressing equity in health care at the public-private intersection: The role of health rights enforcement in Hungary / Maria Eva Foldes.

Through a comparative global study of countries from all continents representing a diversity of health, legal, political, and economic systems, this book explores the role of health rights in advancing greater equality through access to health care. Does health care promote equality, or does it in fact advance the opposite result? Does inserting the idea of 'the right to health' into health systems allow the reinsertion of public values into systems that are undergoing privatization? Or does it allow for private claims to be re-articulated as 'rights', in a way that actually reinforces inequality? This volume includes studies from countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, Brazil, Canada, The Netherlands, China, and Nigeria, among many others, and authors with expertise in the legal and health systems of their countries, making this a seminal study that allows readers to see the differing role of rights in various health systems.
