The author of this book on American health-care proposals uses foreign experience to indicate the proper direction for American health- care reform and to identify interesting alternatives that suggest compromises for what are usually repesented in the US as "either-or" choices. Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain and Japan are examined to show the achievement of universal access to comparable quality care at much lower costs. The author begins by describing each country's system and then follows with chapters discussing three classes of problems: quality and access; collecting the money; and controlling costs.
Joseph White is a research associate in the Governmental Studies program at Brookings.
