The Topic: What is the current status of the debate over the role of the federal government in assuring healthcare for the U.S. population?
Changing one-fifth of the US economy or one-tenth of the EU economy is, as previous reform efforts have shown, a slow and uncertain process. Sweeping proposals become shipwrecked on the shoals of differing political philosophies, powerful economic interests and an inability to sustain a sense of public urgency. The market sector is so large and the risks of failed reform so high that national and regional governments realistically consider only incremental changes to the current system. Private sector reforms are often bolder but more limited, affecting only a small portion of the population at any given time. The relatively even division of political office between those favouring smaller government and those favouring more active, and ultimately more expensive government, ensures that additional sweeping health reforms are less likely than experimentation on a regional level. There is a general sense among US and EU elected officials that there is no strong public sentiment in favour of tax increases. That shared sentiment implies that, in the absence of new revenues, cost-sharing, among different levels of government and between the public and private sectors, will be the preferred political policy basis of most reforms that emerge during the next decade.
