But what exactly is being regulated,  what are the instruments used, and what are the effects and  side-effects of such regulation? \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eRegulation of Health: Case Studies of Sweden and Switzerland\u003c\/em\u003e  seeks to resolve problems in answering these key questions regarding  the health care sector in two countries - Sweden and  Switzerland. The volume contains a series of studies that compare the  regulation of health and health care in these two apparently very  similar countries, in considerable detail. The contributing teams  acquired a great deal of knowledge about health regulation in both  countries; they also derived comparative predictions when regulation  differs, using actual observations to check whether these predictions  are borne out. These comparisons are based on the conditions  prevailing in the mid-nineties.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23 October 2012\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer US\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781461368144\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e274\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51213946421388,"sku":"9781461368144","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461368144.jpg?v=1783000772","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461368144","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
