Abstract
Why was reform considered necessary? One of the triggers was growing discontent among influential sections of the population, partly rooted in the effects of cost control during the 1980s.1 Through deliberate policies the proportion of gross domestic product spent on health care in Sweden fell from 9.6% in 1983 to 8.8% in 1991—Sweden and Ireland were the only countries in the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development to achieve any reduction at all over this period.2 A further decrease to 7.6% in 1993 was largely the result of shifting care of elderly people from counties to municipalities.
