2006-2010 Health Reforms in the Americas
2
Abstract
During the past years we have witnessed an important number of
healthcare systems reforms in the continent, being more radical in
Colombia, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Turks and Caicos Islands,
United States and Uruguay. As part of its CISS Health System and
Insurance Report (CISS 2008), the organization is issuing this
document that describes in an ordered way the major reforms
undertaken in the mentioned countries during the period 2006-2010.
In doing so, the document not only synthesizes the information
available but also presents some lessons that can be useful for other
countries. The analysis follows the theoretical background used in the
main report (CISS 2008): the Emerging Paradigm (EP) developed by
Chernichovsky (1995) and Chernichovsky (2002). The reason of our
choice, among alternative con ceptual frameworks, is that the EP can be
viewed as a positive m odel that helps us understand how health
systems actually work and also as a normative guide for policymaking
(CISS 2008). The studied cases allow us to conclude that most
countries, with the exception of Mexico an d United States, are
following in their reform many of the principles of the Emerging
Paradigm.
