Document Summary

Chapter 11 summary - evolution of health care and policy: deconstructing divergent approaches. Chapter 11 explores how the political and economic forces have shaped the divergence in the organization and delivery of care, along with recent attempts at reform making changes in order to improve. The rst key point mentioned was the fact that there are several political and historical forces that have in uenced the design and delivery of health care in canada and the united states. To elaborate, the di erences in the two health care systems have evolved as a result of di erent ideological conceptions and political institutional processes through which legislation is developed. As a result, health care in the u. s. is based on a system of private health insurance, and by contrast, canada has a universal system of public health insurance.
