Fair processes for financing universal health coverage?

Abstract

Although the fair financing report, 'Open and Inclusive: Fair Processes for Financing Universal Health Coverage', has many sage things to say about democratic deliberative processes, its title belies its content: the report does not offer any assessment of processes for financing universal health coverage. What it does instead is scrutinise processes for deciding how to finance universal health coverage without any linkage to substantive questions concerning financing, and, moreover, the discussion is not narrowly focused on fairness.
