Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan had profound impacts on their respective societies when they assumed office in 1979 and
1981, respectively, and free market revolutions often referred to as neoliberalism. Though they both have long since passed from the scene, elements of their complementary visions have survived, including in the health and medical care space in each society.
Prof. John E McDonough will describe the US version of this intellectual revolution and its 40+ years impact on the performance and cost of the US health care system. Prof. Mark Exworthy will do the same focused on the British experience and legacy.
