"...Jost has provided us with a thoughtful and carefully arranged set of materials ideal for classroom use."
Book Description
This book presents balanced coverage of the four major areas of health law -- health care organization and finance; the obligations of health care professionals and institutions to patients; bioethics; and public health law. For each of these topics, it presents a carefully edited collection of cases, statutes, and readings. The book includes sources from English-speaking, common-law jurisdictions; continental Europe and Japan; and developing countries. Whenever possible, the readings are by authors from the countries whose laws are discussed. Also, most sources are truly comparative; that is, they analyze the laws of not just one, but of several jurisdictions.
This is not just another book about comparative health policy; rather, it focuses uniquely on comparative health law -- how law, legal systems, and legal institutions influence health care recipients, professionals, institutions, and systems.
