Healthcare futures: visions of solidarity and the sustainability of European healthcare systems
Healthcare futures: visions of solidarity and the sustainability of European healthcare systems
One of the most striking findings of European attitude surveys is the very high level of healthcare solidarity. Analysis of the Democratic Forum discussions allows us to examine the basis for these attitudes. This chapter identifies four distinct framings of healthcare solidarity in the UK, Norway, Germany and Slovenia, respectively: exclusive solidarity, universal solidarity, contributory solidarity and egalitarian solidarity. These framings reflect national differences in citizens’ ideas about the appropriate risk community for healthcare and the rights and duties of the members of that community. In the UK solidarity is limited to insider citizens and hedged by a determination to exclude outsiders, in Norway it is rooted in universal collectivism, in Germany it stems from the community of contributors, and in Slovenia it draws on a shared socialist heritage and emphasis on equality.

Abstract
One of the most striking findings of European attitude surveys is the very high level of healthcare solidarity. Analysis of the Democratic Forum discussions allows us to examine the basis for these attitudes. This chapter identifies four distinct framings of healthcare solidarity in the UK, Norway, Germany and Slovenia, respectively: exclusive solidarity, universal solidarity, contributory solidarity and egalitarian solidarity. These framings reflect national differences in citizens’ ideas about the appropriate risk community for healthcare and the rights and duties of the members of that community. In the UK solidarity is limited to insider citizens and hedged by a determination to exclude outsiders, in Norway it is rooted in universal collectivism, in Germany it stems from the community of contributors, and in Slovenia it draws on a shared socialist heritage and emphasis on equality.
