Paperback. Etat : New. The End of an Illusion: The Future of Health Policy in Western Industrialized Nations critically examines the evolving challenges in health policy, focusing on the unsustainable nature of current systems in the face of rising medical costs and limited resources. The book argues that while health has long b…een regarded as a fundamental right, the growing burden of healthcare expenditures in Western countries challenges the idea that the welfare state can continue to provide unlimited access to services for all. As healthcare costs outpace economic growth, the illusion of abundant resources fades, forcing difficult decisions about the allocation of medical services. Central themes include the growing role of the state in healthcare, the implications of new medical technologies, the ethical dilemmas of healthcare rationing, and the shift from idealism to realism in health policy. The book aims to frame the debate on the future of health care, identifying key issues that will shape policy discussions in the 1980s and beyond. The book is structured in four parts. Part 1 reflects on the historical context of state involvement in health systems and its impact on the current state of affairs. It critiques the notion that healthcare can remain a purely private matter, highlighting how economic retrenchment will push for alternative conceptions of medicine. Part 2 explores various perspectives on the role of the state in health policy, analyzing historical debates on disease prevention, the evolution of medical technology, and the ethics of healthcare rationing. Part 3 provides case studies from France, Britain, the United States, and Québec to offer insights into the practical realities and potential solutions in these nations' health systems. Finally, Part 4 synthesizes the findings from the case studies, speculating on the future direction of health policy. The book aims to contribute to a more informed, realistic discourse on health policy by addressing the complex interplay between economics, technology, ethics, and social values. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1984.
