Why did 34 states reject implementing a core part of Obamacare they said they would like, especially given the threat of losing control to the federal government? This book examines the role of governors, the Tea Party, and other interest groups in the fight over health insurance exchanges.

"Funktionierende Gesundheitssysteme zählen zu den wichtigsten sozialstaatlichen Errungenschaften. Weil sie weitgehend national organisiert werden, sind Einblicke in ausländische Systeme aufschlussreich: Sie erlauben vor dem Hintergrund der Erfahrungen mit dem eigenen System einen Vergleich von Aufgabenstellungen, institutionellen Ausprägungen und normativen Leitideen. Der Band erschließt deutschen Lesern die in Polen geführten Diskussionen um die Bedeutung verfassungsrechtlicher Vorgaben für die Gesundheitsversorgung, verbunden mit einem ausführlichen Überblick über das bestehende polnische Versorgungssystem. Damit wird erkennbar, was es bedeutet, wenn in Polen und Deutschland einerseits die Gesundheitssysteme unterschiedlich angelegt und die verfassungsrechtlichen Vorgaben unterschiedlich dicht sind, andererseits aber beide Systeme auf vergleichbare und durch europäisches Recht mit geprägte Leitideen gestützt werden."

This book confronts common myths about health care, examines how health care is organized in relation to what is known about differentiation, separation, and integration, and offers guidelines to re-frame the core components of health care: its strategy, organization, scale, ownership, management, and the system itself.

At a time when the world's wealthiest nations struggle to make health care and medicine available to everyone, why do resource-constrained countries make costly commitments to universal health coverage and AIDS treatment after transitioning to democracy? Joseph Harris explores the dynamics that made landmark policies possible in Thailand and Brazil but which have led to prolonged struggle and contestation in South Africa. Drawing on firsthand accounts of the people wrestling with these issues, Achieving Access documents efforts to institutionalize universal healthcare and expand access to life-saving medicines in three major industrializing countries. In comparing two separate but related policy areas, Harris finds that democratization empowers elite professionals, such as doctors and lawyers, to advocate for universal health care and treatment for AIDS. Harris's analysis is situated at the intersection of sociology, political science, and public health and will speak to scholars with interests in health policy, comparative politics, social policy, and democracy in the developing world. In light of the growing interest in health insurance generated by implementation of the Affordable Care Act (as well as the coming changes poised to be made to it), Achieving Access will also be useful to policymakers in developing countries and officials working on health policy in the United States.
