The Price of Health: Australian Governments and Medical Politics 1910-1960 / Edition 1 in Bloomington, MN

This book provides background to the current debate on health policy by studying the political conflict over it in Australia from 1910 to 1960. It looks at both state and national levels to identify the main structures and forces that shaped the system of publicly-subsidized private practice, which is now most obvious in the fee-for-service scheme.
