Savedoff, William D.2019-09-252019-09-252011-04-1820060745325092http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12424/177801"Corruption exists in all types of health care systems. William Savedoff and Karen Hussmann look at the reasons why the health sector is especially vulnerable to corruption, and ask whether the vulnerabilities are different in kind and in magnitude, depending on the type of system chosen. An analysis of Colombia and Venezuela shows that very different manifestations of corruption emerged as the two countries’ health care models diverged. If there is corruption, no matter which system is opted for, and how well it is funded, health spending may not lead to commensurate health outcomes. In the United States, Americans spend more on health care than many other industrialised countries, yet health outcomes are arguably no better."Pages: 22engWith permission of the license/copyright holderhealth caremoral systemPolitical ethicsEconomic ethicsGovernance and ethicsDevelopment ethicsBook
