Abstract

Healthcare systems, due to their importance and their growing robustness, are often kept separate from other welfare state systems. Important changes in the healthcare systems in European countries occurred at the beginning of the 1990s and are connected with the introduction of market in healthcare. This was accompanied by a change in discourse with an emphasis on terms such as ‚personal responsibility‘, ‚choice‘ and ‚consumers‘. This replaced the old political rhetoric that focused on universal, public and solidarity-based healthcare provision.
