The Ideal Museum by Philippe Daverio

The Ideal Museum by Philippe Daverio

Universal healthcare may be defined as any healthcare system that ensures at least basic coverage to most, if not all, citizens of a country. Although it may be implemented in many ways, universal healthcare has been widely accepted by international humanitarian organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) as the best way to ensure the universal human right to health. So why is the United States the only industrialized country without universal healthcare? What are the political, social, and economic factors that have prevented its successful introduction?

Universal Healthcare explores what universal healthcare is, the many forms it can take--using examples from countries around the world--and the tumultuous history of attempts to implement a system of universal healthcare in the United States. Part I delves into the contentious issues and debates surrounding adoption of universal healthcare in the United States. Lastly, Part I provides a variety of useful materials, including case studies, a timeline of critical events, a glossary, and a directory of resources.

Philippe Daverio was born in 1949 in the Alsatian town of Mulhouse, France.

He is the creator and host of the TV shows Passepartout, Emporio Daverio, and Il Capitale, and is the author of many books.
