Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Beginning with the history and implementation of health insurance across Europe, this comprehensive book analyzes the key debates and principles involved in social health insurance. The author draws from the history of health insurance programs in various countriesâ"including the UK, Sweden, Denmark, and Germanyâ"to build a framework of standards that could be used to establish a successful program in the US. These standards, which include defining the extent of coverage, the role of the state, and the structure of the insurance system, are examined in depth. The author argues that the voluntary private health insurance model popular in the US is ineffective and has consistently failed to meet the needs of all Americans. Instead, the author advocates for a compulsory model that includes public subsidies to make the cost of insurance more affordable. Throughout the book, the author emphasizes the social, economic, and humanitarian benefits that such a program would bring to the US healthcare system and the American people.
