This volume presents the results of research which represent a significant contribution to the knowledge of equity in the finance and delivery of health care in ten countries. It compares the experience of nine European countries and the US using a consistent methodology to draw out comparable results from ten very different health care systems.
Such an approach facilitates not only a greater understanding of the performance of the health care systems of other countries but also the identification of the lessons that can be learnt from international comparisons. In recent years it has been recognized that many health and health care problems are similar across many countries and their solution can be usefuly informed by the abandonment both of isolation and the belief that an individual country's problems are unique.
The contents of this book demonstrate that given efficient research teams, research funding can produce both significant new knowledge of direct relevance to the reform of health care systems world-wide, and also collaborative, mutually informative work between Europeans and others living outside the EEC.

'a coherent and cohesive piece of work and a must for anyone interested in either the principles or the practice of equity in health care ... I would hope that this book will not only be read by many but that the efforts of the editors and the contributors in providing such a useful set of readings will be rewarded in having policy makers devoting more of their efforts to the pursuit of equity in health care - however they choose to define it.'Gavin Mooney, University of Aberdeen, Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, Vol 47, No 4, August 1993
