Abstract
The thesis treats national health insurance (NHI) as an economic problem with considerable social and political overtones and examines the unique problem-solving styles that have led to the development of national health schemes in England, Canada, Australia and Sweden. Policy options available to the Congress that will shape the final form of NHI are also studied. It is concluded that access to quality health care, as the "right" of every American, and the runaway cost of health care in the 1970's have combined to create an economic "crisis" and the socio-political milieu that will lead to the enactment of national health insurance in the United States on an incremental basis beginning in 1976.
