Balancing financial incentives during Covid-19: A comparison of provider payment adjustments across 20 countries
The origins of the Polizia Femminile , 1948–1961
Women entered police forces through women-only special corps in many democratic states in the early twentieth century. In Italy this reform occurred after World War II, first under the occupying Allied military government in Trieste and, after 1959, on a national basis. Women served separately from men from 1961 until 1983. This article examines the debate triggered by the campaign of the so-called Merlin Law from 1948–1958, a law which deregulat…
Financing Healthcare in Central and Eastern European Countries: How Far Are We from Universal Health Coverage
After the fall of communism, the healthcare systems of Central and Eastern European countries underwent enormous transformation, resulting in departure from publicly financed healthcare. This had significant adverse effects on equity in healthcare, which are still evident. In this paper, we analyzed the role of government and households in financing healthcare in eight countries (EU-8): Czechia, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovak…
Mapping variability in allocation of Long-Term Care funds across payer agencies in OECD countries
INTRODUCTION: Long-term care (LTC) is organized in a fragmented manner. Payer agencies (PA) receive LTC funds from the agency collecting funds, and commission services. Yet, distributional equity (DE) across PAs, a precondition to geographical equity of access to LTC, has received limited attention. We conceptualize that LTC systems promote DE when they are designed to set eligibility criteria nationally (vs. locally); and to distribute funds amo…
Marisa Escolar. Allied Encounters: The Gendered Redemption of World War II Italy
Marisa Escolar’s Allied Encounters: The Gendered Redemption of World War II Italy takes an argument now becoming familiar and renders it in a vivid, persuasive, and nuanced analysis of unfamiliar sources that makes it newly compelling. Following the scholarship of Ruth Glynn, Millicent Marcus, Danielle Hipkins, and Mary Louise Roberts, it follows the story of Italy’s “redemption” from a Fascist enemy to an American ally by showing how this was ac…
Anna Tonelli. Gli irregolari: Amori comunisti al tempo della Guerra fredda
Anna Tonelli’s Gli irregolari: Amori comunisti al tempo della Guerra fredda offers a meticulously researched reconstruction of the private consequences of militancy in the Italian Communist Party in the early Cold War years, confirming a familiar yet enduringly significant historical argument: that the personal is political. While most of the stories here have been told elsewhere, in more and less gossipy formats, the author has linked the detail…

The United States and Fascist Italy: The Rise of American Finance in Europe
Originally published in Italian in 1980, Gli Stati Uniti e il fascismo: Alle origini dell'egemonia Americana in Italia is regarded today as a crucial text on the relationship between the United States and Italy during the interwar years. Aside from the addition of two new prefaces - one by the author and one by the book's translator, Molly Tambor - the original text has remained unchanged, so that Anglophone readers now have the opportunity to en…
Towards a stakeholders' consensus on patient payment policy: The views of health‐care consumers, providers, insurers and policy makers in six Central and Eastern European countries
BACKGROUND: Although patient charges for health-care services may contribute to a more sustainable health-care financing, they often raise public opposition, which impedes their introduction. Thus, a consensus among the main stakeholders on the presence and role of patient charges should be worked out to assure their successful implementation. AIM: To analyse the acceptability of formal patient charges for health-care services in a basic package …
The Lost Wave: Women and Democracy in Postwar Italy
The first women entered national government in Italy in 1946 and represented a “lost wave” of feminist action. They used a specific electoral and legislative strategy, “constitutional rights feminism,” to construct an image of the female citizen as a bulwark of democracy. Mining existing tropes of femininity such as the Resistance heroine, the working mother, the sacrificial Catholic, and the “mamma Italiana, ” they searched for social consensus …

Out-of-pocket payments on health in Poland: Size, tendency and willingness to pay
In Poland, the low level of health care financing from public funds is becoming increasingly voiced and accepted as an argument not only for increasing health insurance contributions, but also for extending the scope of private funding. The objective of this paper is to analyze the level and structure of out-of-pocket expenditure in Poland as well as health care consumer characteristics influencing payments for health care and willingness to pay.…
Red Saints: Gendering the Cold War, Italy 1943–1953
The particular intensity of Italy's Cold War rivalries was subverted, critiqued, and even outright rejected by a coalition of women from both Left and Right. These women, brought together by their participation in the antifascist Resistance and held together by a particular vision of women's equal citizenship as the only guarantee of democracy in Italy, presented an ideal image of womanhood to the public endorsing both a Christian inspiration and…
