Etre malade... est aussi parfois un danger pour la santé financière du patient.Les soins de santé sont bien développés en Belgique et sont en principe accessibles à tout le monde. Mais dans certains cas, cette accessibilité peut être problématique. Les frais médicaux peuvent quelquefois être très élevés. Une situation d'autant plus poignante pour quiconque doit vivre avec un faible revenu ou avec une indemnité d'incapacité de travail ou d'invalidité. Dans un premier chapitre, quatre exemples illustrent la façon dont certaines dépenses de santé peuvent grimper, et comment elles peuvent briser l'équilibre financier d'un ménage.La suite de ce dossier est consacrée à un examen des principales mesures qui ont exercé un impact sur les frais à charge du patient au cours des quinze dernières années et à l'analyse des parts publique et privée dans les dépenses et le financement des soins.

The United States is the only industrialized democracy that allows its citizens to go entirely without health care for lack of funds or to be bankrupted by medical bills. Author Pamela Behan was confronted by the effects of this policy failure during her previous career as a nurse, and with Solving the Health Care Problem, she examines how it can be corrected. Behan explores American health care policy failure by looking at how two other, similar nations—Canada and Australia—managed to adopt health care protections, and compares their stories with events in the United States. Behan's systematic comparison of all three nations shows that the factors responsible for these different results center on the responsiveness of each nation's political institutions to its voters. In particular, Australia's parliamentary system and labor party and Canada's constitutional flexibility and national-provincial dynamics proved central to each nation's adoption of national health insurance. In contrast, similar efforts in the United States became less frequent and less ambitious after they were repeatedly blocked without even coming to a vote. These dissimilarities reveal the institutional and class issues that must be addressed for the United States to successfully confront the health care problem.
