| Description: | The appropriate method of financing the health care system is currently the
subject of debate in many developed countries, in the face of an explosion in
costs and apparently insatiable demand. The primary objective of the paper
is to critically examine one widely-discussed option, which is to rely on private
funding as the dominant means of financing. Some important issues with respect
to financing in the context of systems which are instead dominated by the State
are also discussed. While the arguments are dealt with at a general level, they
have immediate relevance to the direction in which the Irish health services should
develop. |
