Larry R. Churchill. 110 pages. Cambridge, Massachusetts: Harvard Univ Pr; 1994. $19.95.
Churchill, a philosopher, applies the precepts of David Hume to the problems of structuring health care systems. Paraphrasing Hume, he says "I observe that it will be in my interest to support others in their access to health services, provided they will act in a similar manner with regard to me." A thoughtful book with surprising relevance to those considering the appropriate design of any "new" health care system for the United States.
