Description
“The perception of essential health care as an economic commodity rather than a public good is a barrier to fundamental change in health financing in the United States. Perhaps it goes too much against the grain of American political culture, with its strong sense of individualism and its inherent anti-statism, to expect that an overwhelming majority of Americans will suddenly view health care as a social service. But it is possible that this country could one day leapfrog that step by concluding, through a court decision, that certain essential health services are a right of citizenship and must be provided to everyone on the same basis.”

“Today, I aim to discuss the importance of human contact and communication in the delivery of effective patient-centred health care. How can we as physicians, working in health systems that are becoming increasingly process driven and disease-focused, maintain human dignity and a patient sensitive approach? I will argue that traditional values in family practice still offer us the opportunity to meet and focus on the modern needs of individuals and communities rather than on the needs of the health care industry.”

Description
"Describing financing of health care systems in Europe with its now 27 member states is a challenge that requires the stating of criteria against which the different systems might be evaluated. The evaluation cannot be restricted to examining financial resources, but has to include at least the basic benefit performances of health schemes (plans). The main countries to be examined here are France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, and—despite the fact that it is not an EU member—Switzerland."
