Accidental Logics

Accidental Logics provides answers to what drives change in health care systems and why certain types of changes occur in some countries, by focusing on the experiences of the United States, Britain, and Canada. Tuohy examines the "accidents" of history that have shaped national systems at critical moments in time and the distinctive "logics" of the systems thus created. This book should be read by political scientists, public policy makers, and those involved in health care, including administrators and practitioners.
