  • Title: The context for health reform in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Germany, and the United States.
    Author: Saltman RB.
    Journal: Health Policy; 1997 Sep; 41 Suppl():S9-26. PubMed ID: 10174476.
    Abstract:
    The success of health policy initiatives can be strongly influenced by the political, social, and cultural context within which a health care system operates. This study explores the similarities and differences in the background context of the four countries considered in this supplement: Sweden, the United Kingdom, Germany, and the United States. It concludes that there are considerable differences in the background context among these four countries, which help to explain their differing structural and organizational approaches to issues of pharmaceutical and home care policy.
