Abstract

The market for health presents a number of market failures and equity issues which advocate a role for government in its provision. what role this is however, how precisely the government should attempt to tackle these problems is debatable. There exist a spectrum of approaches to both the financing and the provision of healthcare. britain - along with Ireland, much of Scandinavia, Spain, Greece and Portugal - could be said to be "as public as it gets". It's approach is that of public provision, allocation and finance through the tax system, with a small private sector operating alongside it. At the other (private) extreme, Turkey has no dominant source of financing its health care system and has in place a mix of public and private providers. In-between, canada, France, Germany, Australia and New Zealand each operate a mixed system of health care, financing it publicly (either through taxation or social insurance) but providing for it privately.
