The prime example is the rapid rise of private health insurance, which now constitutes a parallel system characterized by state subsidies for some and not for others. This functions as a kind of reverse means-testing, whereby primarily the upper classes get state support for new types of welfare consumption. Innovatively, Lapidus explains how such a parallel system requires not only direct and statutory state support but also indirect support, for example, from infrastructure built for the public health system. He goes on to examine how semi-private welfare funding is dependent on private provision and how the so-called ‘hidden welfare state‘ gradually erodes the visible and former universal welfare state model, in direct contrast to its own stated goals. . .Who benefits from privatized welfare? How are the privatization of delivery and the privatization of funding linked? How doesthis impact public willingness to pay tax? All of these questions and more are discussed in this accessible volume.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | | 关键词 | Welfare state; Welfare economics; Swedish Welfare Model; Swedish economics; Privatization; Health economi | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-24784-3 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-24786-7 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-24784-3 | | copyright | The Editor(s) and The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019 |
