In the European Union, as in modern developed economies generally, the preponderant model of health care is built on a complicated triangular relationship among providers, the State as a funding body, and patients, the regulation of which varies depending on each Member State and its healthcare system. Focusing on the EU legal mechanisms that have been developed for the scrutiny of this triangular relationship, this book examines the extent to which the market imperatives that have been introduced in recent decades can actually influence, remodel, alter, unify, or fragment the national provision of healthcare services across the EU. In the process, the author exposes a normative nucleus that cannot be torn apart by the internal market mandate, and shows that this nucleus mirrors the hallmarks of a truly European healthcare system.
