Course Details

Course: MD ID 6575 - Comparative Health System Design

Description: This course will provide a survey of the basic models that intl health systems follow - the Beveridge or single provider model, the National Health Insurance model, the Bismarckian model or non-governmental insurer model, & the out-of-pocket model - & use these peer comparisons to better understand the American healthcare system, which is a complex amalgam of these four models. The course will study international examples of each system (the UK, Canada, Taiwan, & Germany), including the underlying political & economic forces that led to their development, their evolution over time, & current functioning.
