Disentitlement?: The Threats Facing Our Public Health Care Programs and a Rights-Based Response

No developed nation relies exclusively on the private sector to finance health care for citizens. Download Disentitlement? medical books for free.
This book begins by exploring the deficiencies in private health insurance that account for this. It then recounts the history and examines the legal character of America's public health care entitlements - Medicare, Medicaid, and tax subsidies for employment-related health benefits. These programs are increasingly embattled, attacked by those advocating privatization (replacing public with private insurance); individualization (replacing group and community-based insurance with approaches based on individual choice within markets); and devolution (devolving authority over entitlements to state governments and to private entities).
