Redesigning the health care system of the future.

The models outlined above represent alternative constructs for examining factors that may or may not influence human health in a positive manner. If the economic framework seems more theoretical than actionable, consider an alternative framework that has been advanced by the American Hospital Association and described in Table I. Regardless of the framework adopted, work to improve the health care system and its financing will be hard, irrespective of whether incremental or wholesale changes are made. What is important, however, is that a thoughtful approach be taken and the trade-offs of each decision carefully weighted. The health of the population of the state and the country depend on it.

Public hospitals in China: privatisation, the demise of universal health care and the rise of patient-doctor violence.

Ensuring the safety of staff and patients has become a major problem for hospitals in China. This article examines whether one of the reasons for this violence may be the emerging injustice and inequality that have manifested in the Chinese health care system as a result of privatisation reforms since the early 1980s. It considers approaches to these issues that may assist the Chinese Government, and other nations contemplating similar policy changes, to create efficient but equity-based health care systems that minimise collateral trauma to patients and their families.

With little afoot in D.C. to ease the uninsured crisis, state initiatives are attempting to take up the slack. In California last week, supporters rallied for a universal coverage bill that Gov. Schwarzenegger is expected to veto. "States are looking at the federal government and seeing that nothing's happening," one observer says.
