Perverse Policies? Comparing Private Insurance in Australia and CanadaJames Gillespie

Australia and Canada have many similarities in health policy, starting with some of the main features of each country’s Medicare system. The workings of private health insurance provide a striking area of contrast. Australia has a duplicate system, in which private health insurance covers most of the services provided by public hospitals, constructing a parallel private system. Canada has kept the public and private separate. This talk will explore the different ways private funding works in each system and the consequences for equity, quality and access.

James Gillespie is an Associate Professor in Health Policy in the School of Public Health, University of Sydney and Deputy Director, Menzies Centre for Health Policy at the University of Sydney. He is author of Making Medicare: the Politics of Universal Health Care in Australia (2013) and numerous works on chronic illness and integrated care policy.

Access and Quality: The Performance of Health Systems Worldwide

In the 17 years since the World Health Report 2000, which controversially proposed measures of performance of 193 health systems worldwide, there have been enormous advances in the information available on health and disease worldwide, led by the Global Burden of Disease project. In this talk, Martin McKee will present new findings from the project, which have employed the concept of avoidable mortality and linked it to these new sources of data. He will discuss both the remaining challenges and the implications of these findings to researchers and policy decision-makers.
