Book Synopsis Measuring Equity in Health Care Financing by : Adam Wagstaff
Book excerpt: The World Health Organization's latest World health report proposes an index of fairness in health care financing. The index's chief weakness is that it cannot discriminate among progressive, regressive, and horizontally inequitable health financing systems. An alternative approach proposed in the early 1990s is shown to do a better job.
