Описание: Analysis of the orgins of the holocaust traditionally centres around voelkisch racial ideologies, overlooking the effects of racial ideas on biology and health. Based on a wealth of hitherto neglected archival sources, this book analyses the origins, social composition and impact of eugenics in the context of the social and political tension of an industrialising empire.

Описание: Folland, Goodman, and Stano’s bestselling The Economics of Health and Health Care text offers the market-leading overview of all aspects of Health Economics, teaching through core economic themes, rather than concepts unique to the health care economy. The Eighth Edition of this key textbook has been revised and updated throughout, and reflects changes since the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). In addition to its revised treatment of health insurance, the text also introduces the key literature on social capital as it applies to individual and public health, as well as looking at public health initiatives relating to population health and economic equity, and comparing numerous policies across Western countries, China, and the developing world. It provides up-to-date discussions on current issues, as well as a comprehensive bibliography with over 1,100 references. Extra material and teaching resources are now also available through the brand new companion website, which provides full sets of discussion questions, exercises, presentation slides, and a test bank. This book demonstrates the multiplicity of ways in which economists analyze the health care system, and is suitable for courses in Health Economics, Health Policy/Systems, or Public Health, taken by health services students or practitioners.

Описание: I. Introduction (Falkenbach, Guicciardi, and Moise)
- Current layout of PRR parties - who they are, how they are classified, and why we think a new classification is necessary.- Difference between Left and Right and why we focus on the Right (see image in original proposal - attachment tab).- Current layout of PRR parties and their impact on health - who made it into government and a brief overview of the very limited resources available on this topic.- Policies important to these parties while in government. o Compare PRR parties' manifestos to what they actually accomplished.- Limitations to the definition of health policy.
II. Framework (Falkenbach, Guicciardi, and Moise)
- The development of a new framework to identify PRR parties worldwide- Placing them on a spectrum (perhaps 2- or even 3-dimensional) - see below example (attachment tab), third-dimension economics could be added. o Add clientelism and corruption for eastern countries as needed
III. Case Studies - the case studies chosen for this project represent countries that either have or had PRR parties in government and continue to struggle with their electoral strength or have been experiencing a steady increase in support for PRR parties.
- INTRO - Short history of the party, with a focus on the cultural/social background of the country. How did the PRR party develop? What kind of a role did they play in politics and were they accepted by other parties (SD/CD)? Did the party's tactics change over time, why? Current strength/influence of the party in relation to other parties.
- Reasons why we can consider the party as being PRR - follow conceptual framework.- POLICY FOCUS - Starting point for policy focus beginning 2000s unless there were influential policies previously passed that still have an impact today.- List relevant health policies adopted or proposed in the suggested table format.- CONCLUSION - Impact of the PRR party's policies, with references to quantitative/qualitative studies.- Prediction of PRR parties influence in general over the next years - i.e., will they still be in government, why, why not?- Potential new health policies in the next few years.- Summary box with the most important 4 or 5 "take-home messages".

IV. ConclusionTying together the cases with overall findings.
- Health is typically ignored by the PRR, often too controversial.- If there is a coalition partner (in most cases there will be), they will usually be of a Christian Democratic nature and will usually have more power/say than the PRR that will result in the PRR getting stuck with partially unpopular ministries (other than defense and interior), where they will be forced to make rather unpopular reforms that serve the agenda of the stronger coalition party (CD)- Highlight possible outcomes.

Описание: If national health insurance becomes a reality, what options should be considered for the coverage of prescription drugs? The authors--whose Pills, Profits, and Politics has had a dramatic effect on physicians, pharmacists, patients, and the drug industry as well as on federal and state legislators--insist that the major objective must be the best possible health care. But holding down costs to patients and taxpayers must also be a goal.

To complicate matters further, the advantage of each likely option--including price controls, the use of formularies, drug utilization review, patient cost-sharing, and the use of low-cost, generic-name products--is offset by a disadvantage, even a danger. If drug prices are slashed too much, the industry will lose many of its incentives to develop better drugs for the future.

Particular attention is focused on the so-called drug lag--the lengthy delays in licensing of new drugs, even after they have been used with apparently good results in other countries. Pills and the Public Purse also addresses the seldom-appreciated fact that investing tax dollars in needed drugs may save taxpayers in the long run by minimizing unnecessary physician visits and hospitalization.

Pills and the Public Purse challenges Congress and such agencies as the Food and Drug Administration and the Health Care Financing Administration to enact policies that put the interests of the public before those of government, industry, physicians, and pharmacists.

Featuring more than 200 photographs, maps, and illustrations, this book offers amazing stories of destruction and survival. While some are humorous and some tragic, all offer a unique perspective on the state's unending vulnerability to these storms.

Описание: Any analysis of health financing issues has to begin with sound estimates of the level and flow of resources in a health system, including total levels of spending, the sources of health expenditures, the uses of funds in terms of services purchased, and in terms of who purchases them. The analysis should also aim at understanding how these resource flows are correlated with health system outcomes, including those of improving health, reducing health inequalities, and reducing the incidence of catastrophic health expenditure. National Health Accounts (NHA) provide a framework to collect, compile, and analyze such data on all types of health spending in a country—and so create a robust evidence base for policy making. Although NHA data delineate the key financial metrics of a health system, the collection of these data have not been institutionalized in most developing countries. The root problems are often the same: insufficient resources to collect, collate, analyze and produce information on spending; poor development of health and other information systems; low levels of local capacity to interpret information to meet policy needs; and inadequate demand for data within countries. Furthermore, in many low- and middle-income countries, NHA activities have been conducted as ad hoc, donor-driven initiatives. Since 2008, the World Bank has been coordinating a global initiative to identify bottlenecks to the institutionalization of NHA, and to learn lessons in countries at different stages on the journey towards this institutionalization. The focus has been less on the production of NHA and more on its relevance as a tool to enable policy makers develop and implement evidence-based decisions, and better measure the impact of health reforms, especially those related to health financing. This report has been developed through a consultative process, involving experts and policy makers from more than fifty low-, middle- and high-income countries, large and small, in all corners of the world, development partners and World Bank staff globally. The report represents a synthesis of lessons learned from country experiences and is intended to serve as a strategic guide to countries and their development partners as they design and implement their strategy to develop nationally relevant and internationally comparable data, collected in a routine and cost-effective manner.
