Riassunto

Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden have all discussed market-oriented health care reforms. Furthermore, they all face demographic change, European integration, and public debts. However, due to their particular national institutions and discourse, these debates have resulted in different degrees and dimensions of privatization and profitization in health care. Whereas the Netherlands and Germany introduced competition between insurances, Sweden introduced competition between public and newly-established private providers. The European Union has had limited influence. The Open Method of Coordination is negligible, while the four freedoms have small impact and the common markets results in pressure on non-wage labor costs. These health care reforms are examined in this book. (Series: Writings to European Labour and Social Policy / Schriften zur europaischen Arbeits- und Sozialpolitik - Vol. 10)
