Comparing systems of health care in different countries
No country has solved health care, so each can learn from the others’ experiments. Gwyn has compared England with the Netherlands on what the Dutch reforms of insurer competition might offer a tax-funded NHS; with Italy and the Netherlands on the rise of the regulatory state; with the United States, with Lawrence Brown, on the “accidental logics” by which each country came to ration care as it does, and with Katharina Janus on why integrated care spread in America but not in England; across Europe on how Beveridge and Bismarck systems handle access and choice; and with Canada, with Carolyn Tuohy and Adalsteinn Brown, on how scientific advice met political decision during Covid-19.
