Democratizing Health Care cover

This book provides an account of milestone health insurance reforms that took place in Korea and Thailand, which significantly advanced equitable access and redistribution in health care. Thai and Korean welfare champions were deeply informed by their experiences as activists in their countries' democracy movements.

“The detailed history that Nam provides is well done and fruitfully extends the existing literature. … Nam’s book represents an important contribution to the emerging literature on the welfare state in the industrializing world. It advances new concepts and sparks interesting debates.” (Joseph Harris, Governance, Vol. 31 (1), January, 2018)
