Although this book has been
written from the perspective of the United Kingdom health service,
it will serve as a thought-provoking treatise on ethics of rationing
for those considering health care reform in the US and the current
rationing delivered by managed care and health systems in the US.
This
volume explains why, and in what ways, health care is being rationed
in the UK health service. It examines the ethical questions which
arise from this rationing and includes personal case studies, from
surgeons to geriatric advisors.
