  • Title: The marriage of national health insurance and la médicine libérale in France: a costly union.
    Author: Rodwin VG.
    Journal: Milbank Mem Fund Q Health Soc; 1981; 59(1):16-43. PubMed ID: 6906604.
    Abstract:
    In France, as in the United States, the problems of controlling health care costs are seemingly intractable. The incongruity of private provision with public financing is traced to adherence to competing and contradictory policies-solidarity and liberal-pluralism. This "marriage" of ideologies has been costly, and efforts to stem rising prices have resulted in political stalemate.
