Article: A democratic responsiveness approach to real reform: an exploration of health care systems' resilience.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Real reforms attempt to change how health care is financed and how it is rationed. Three main explanations have been offered to explain why such reforms are so difficult: institutional gridlock, path dependency, and societal preferences. The latter posits that choices made regarding the health care system in a given country reflect the broader societal set of values in that country and that as a result public resistance to real reform may more accurately reflect citizens' personal convictions, self-interest, or even active social choices. "Conscientious objectors" may do more to derail reform than previously recognized.Journal of Health Politics Policy and Law 03/2012; 37(4):665-76. · 0.87 Impact Factor
