Abstract

The relationship between political culture & the delivery of health care is discussed. Specifically, the importance of political culture in describing & explaining similarities & differences in health care policy & delivery systems between & within nations is examined. Certain components of political culture, eg, ideology, religion, & ethnicity, are identified & applied to specific national scenes. The limitations of the political culture approach, & the need to use it in conjunction with other closely related types of explanation of a structural, institutional, & functional nature, are noted. Modified AA.
