'An important effort to understanding health policies through a shrewd lens of relevant political and economic institutions. A textbook undoubtedly needed to define new policies at a time our patients are losing patience.' Guillem Lopez Casasnovas, Universitat Pompeu Fabra 'Citizens in democratic countries choose to spend more on health care and to channel more of that spending through the public sector as their incomes rise, but among these countries there is substantial variation in private payments out of pocket and variety of choices among health plans. In contrast to most analyses that see these variations as reducing overall welfare, this book takes the refreshing view that they are determined by voter preferences in a setting that acknowledges both constitutional rules and government as well as market imperfections. It provides valuable insights on whether things can be arranged better in some countries, given unavoidable constraints on government actions and political actors - insights that both help us understand what happens and what is possible.' Mark Pauly, Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania
