Le point de vue des économistes dans le débat sur la santé est réducteur. Mais tout réducteur qu'il soit, ce point de vue est aussi inévitable. En matière de santé comme ailleurs, nos sociétés ont à faire des choix que l'on qualifie habituellement d'économiques. La question de la bonne affectation des ressources entre les différents besoins de santé est donc « incontournable » ; arbitrer entre ces besoins est tout aussi difficile qu'inévitable. On peut s'interroger sur les raisons profondes de l'introduction et de l'essor d'une problématique de concurrence dans des domaines où elle n'était peut-être pas initialement présente. Nous ne sommes plus dans des sociétés de subsistance. Nous sommes dans des sociétés dans lesquelles le nombre de biens et de services qui sont fournis s'est considérablement multiplié. Cette situation exacerbe les difficultés de toute planification. L'intervention « centrale » pour décider de ce qui doit être est de plus en plus difficile : comment décider d'en haut ce qui est bon pour une personne déterminée, dans un monde où cette personne fait des arbitrages complexes entre les postes de sa consommation. Certes cette diversité des choix possibles est inégalement accessible selon le revenu. Mais nous vivons dans un monde de biens multipliés, dont beaucoup relèvent de ce que l'on appelait autrefois le superflu et non du nécessaire. La légitimité des mécanismes de type décentralisé s'accroît, et avec elle s'affaiblit le tabou sur la recherche de profit. Ceci vaut, même si c'est de façon atténuée, pour le secteur de la santé, non seulement parce qu'une partie des soins relève de ce que l'on nomme parfois le confort, mais parce que le progrès s'accompagne d'un accroissement des biens mis à la disposition, les traitements par exemple, et d'une indétermination croissante du registre du nécessaire. Trois textes ouvrent ce livre, le deuxième d'un cycle sur la santé : de Roger Guesnerie, L'inévitable regard économique ; de Pierre-Yves Geoffard, La santé et ses « marchés » ; de Julian Le Grand, La question du choix dans les systèmes de santé : illusion ou solution ? Sous la rubrique « Contrepoints », Claudine Attias-Donfut, Marie-Odile Bertella Geffroy, Jean-Louis Bourlanges, Jean-Marc Ferry, Maurice Godelier, Joseph Maïla, Serge Marti débattent des analyses proposées. Dans la postface, Roger Guesnerie revient sur les propositions, questions et critiques auxquelles elles ont donné lieu.

People in OECD countries are healthier than ever before, as shown by longer life expectancy and lower mortality for diseases such as cancer. At the same time, total spending on health care now absorbs over 9% of GDP on average in the OECD. Achieving value for money in the health care sector is an important objective in all OECD countries. The book takes an in-depth look at health care in OECD countries today. The publication covers trends in health care outcomes and spending; ways of assessing efficiency; new indicators of health care policies and institutions; and the characteristics and performance of health care systems.

Kenya's private sector is one of the most developed and dynamic in Sub-Saharan Africa. In the health sector - where the leading causes of death are HIV/AIDS, acute respiratory infection, diarrheal diseases, and malaria - the private commercial (for-profit) sector and the not-for-profit sector play critical roles in preventing and treating disease. Even among the poor, the private sector is an important source of care. For example, 47 percent of the poorest quintile of Kenyans use a private facility when a child is sick.
