Beschreibung

"Public-Private Mixes" explores the intricate balance between government and market forces in healthcare systems worldwide. It examines how these hybrid models aim to improve efficiency and access, while also addressing potential coverage gaps and health disparities. The book argues that successful public-private healthcare mixes require robust government oversight to ensure equitable access and quality, preventing market mechanisms from exacerbating inequalities. For example, some systems may struggle to extend coverage to underserved populations, favoring those with private insurance instead.

 
The book progresses by first establishing a foundation of different healthcare models, then delving into the historical context of public-private partnerships. It analyzes the impact of these mixes on healthcare coverage, efficiency, and innovation, using empirical evidence and case studies from various countries. A key insight is the analysis of whether market-based reforms truly reduce costs or simply shift them onto patients, creating incentives for unnecessary services.

 
The book connects political science, economics, and sociology to provide a comprehensive view of these complex systems. This analysis is particularly valuable for policymakers, healthcare professionals, and anyone concerned about the future of healthcare. By providing a nuanced perspective, "Public-Private Mixes" equips readers to critically evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches to healthcare financing and delivery. The book seeks to guide decision-makers in designing healthcare systems that effectively serve the needs of their populations, addressing critical debates around universal healthcare and government oversight.

DARE to Say No - Policing and...

Max Felker-Kantor

With its signature "DARE to keep kids off drugs" slogan and iconic t-shirts, DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) was the most popular drug education program of the 1980s and 1990s. But behind the cultural phenomenon is the story of how DARE and other antidrug education programs brought the War on Drugs into schools and ensured that the velvet glove of antidrug education would be backed by the iron fist of rigorous policing and harsh sentencing. 
 
 
 
Max Felker-Kantor has assembled the first history of DARE, which began in Los Angeles in 1983 as a joint venture between the police department and the unified school district. By the mid-'90s, it was taught in seventy-five percent of school districts across the United States. DARE received near-universal praise from parents, educators, police officers, and politicians and left an indelible stamp on many millennial memories. But the program had more nefarious ends, and Felker-Kantor complicates simplistic narratives of the War on Drugs. He shows how policing entered US schools and framed drug use as the result of personal responsibility, moral failure, and poor behavior deserving of punishment rather than something deeply rooted in state retrenchment, the abandonment of social service provisions, and structures of social and economic inequality.
