Due to developments in society (ageing population, increased consumerism) and medical technology there will stay an upwards pressure to health care expenditures. Government will keep the responsibility for accessibility, quality and affordability of health care for all citizens, but it defines this role more facilitating. Liberalization means less government involvement in the health care procurement market. The health care procurement market in the Netherlands is defined as the market between sellers (hospitals) and buyers (mostly insurers, but in the future maybe also employer and individuals).  
 
 
Liberalization will lead to all kinds of new health organization models, like Health Maintenance Organizations (cooperation between insurance and hospital, e.g. USA), hospital-nursing homes combinations, but also listed hospitals. As from 2012 it will be possible for hospitals to make a profit.
 
[edit]Enablers:
o The increase of health care cost will urge the government to introduce more efficient, market oriented systems. The current Dutch government adagio is “market where possible, and only intervene when necessary
o In the current budget system all capital expenditures are separately funded and guaranteed by government. As from 2012 hospitals will be fully responsible for their income and production (WTZi).
o The new hospital financing system (DBC’s) makes differences between hospitals in price and quality visible. By that competition between hospitals will increase
 
 
[edit]Inhibitors:
o The evolution of the current parliamentary democracy. Will the Dutch parliament be able to let loose, or will it intervene as it does now.  
o The convergence of European health care market systems. Will the EU formulate a policy on health care market systems? So far, the EU has only intervened in food security, labor market and border crossing health care consumption.  
 
 
[edit]Paradigms:
The fundamental shift in thinking is the transformation from a regulated system, like in most other European countries to a much more market oriented system in which government has much less control and market forces will drive development.

Description:

The topography and geographical proximity of Seoul worsens the city’s pollution problem. Because Seoul is surrounded by high mountains, the air circulation throughout the city is poor. The burgeoning population of the metropolitan area, combined with the air pollution blowing in from rapidly industrializing China to the west, have exacerbated the pollution conditions of Seoul.

However, the city of Seoul has not stood idly by. Despite the unfavorable conditions, it is taking on number of measures in order to , and these actions have proven effective.

Enablers:

o City’s plans to improve air quality: 1) Strengthening Environmental Standards for Air Quality Preservation, 2) Increase in the Operation of CNG (Compressed Natural Gas), 3) Operation of an Ozone Alert System
o Preservation of clean water by 1) Improvement of the Water Quality of Water Supply Sources, 2) Improvement of the Water Quality of the Hangang River Tributaries .
o The Five-Year Park Expansion Plan to expand parks in residential areas. Eco-parks, natural parks, and sports parks will be created, and landowners will be fairly compensated for all lands obtained for the parks. Small neighborhood parks, such as small-sized theme parks and gardens for local communities, will be created on lands, which are presently idle.

Inhibitors:

o NO and ozone are worsening due to the rapid increase in the number of automobiles (from 450,000 units in 1985 to 2.55 million units in 2001). Automobile emissions are responsible for 85% of all air pollution. .
o Inefficient funds and time to take care of growing amount of waste & decreasing supply of clean water due to increasing population .


Paradigms:

Seoul Metropolitan Government is actively implementing actions covering air pollution, water supply, waste management in order to make the city greener with public and private organizations. With the municipality purchases, landscapes, and manages parks and green zones aiming to pass them on to descendants and make Seoul healthy place to live for long time to come.
