Australian Health Care Reform
2015
This article discusses Australia’s complex path to achieving a relatively successful health care system. This performance has been achieved through, or despite, the interplay of public and private financing, public and private service provision, and a division of responsibilities between the federal and state governments. The main political parties clash over the role of government and whether national health insurance in its current form should continue.
