In two recent books, William Genieys looks at health insurance reforms in France and in the USA and studies unelected governmental welfare elites that made those reforms possible. He thereby identifies correlations between the career paths of those policymakers and the development of health policies. This also enables him to refute a few preconcieved ideas.
