\nKeywords\/Tags: political economy; interest group politics; health insurance policy
\nKey Messages<\/p>\n
\tConfronted with higher degree of unionization and health insurance payouts for employees, large firms are\u00a0more likely to support universal coverage reforms as a means of redirecting health cost to the public sector. <\/p>\n
\tPublic involvement has an important role in the health insurance reform debate and can yield substantial influence over government decisions to pursue universal coverage policies. <\/p>\n
Recommendations\/Main Conclusions<\/p>\n
\tContingent on the capacity of corporate interests to subdue aggregate activities, the greater their influence over policy decisions relative to smaller firms. <\/p>\n
\tPublic participation within the health policy process can be leveraged to influence government decisions. Societies with a high public preference for redistribution through taxation are more likely to support increased health spending and universal health coverage reform. <\/p>\n
\tWithin a government structure that is proliferated by political actors with veto power, the Implementation of universal insurance schemes can be difficult.
