Since the 1980s, Australians have had a system of universal health care that is
often taken for granted. But the road there wasn't easy. Making Medicare is a
comprehensive account of Australia's long, tortuous, and unconventional path
toward universal health care-as it was established, abolished, and introduced
again-and of the reforms that brought it into being. With its detailed
investigation of the policy debates that have determined the shape of health
care in Australia, this book is the most thorough survey of Medicare's history
published to date. But it is not just about the past. The authors offer a timely
overview of further reforms needed to address the challenges facing our health
care system: new technologies, the aging population, and the rising tide of
chronic disease.
