Handicapped children under National Health Insurance.
This paper describes the services for the care of handicapped children and young people in the United Kingdom and Sweden--two countries which have a system of a national health service and national health insurance. The author discusses the implications for the United States, which is now moving towards a national health insurance scheme. The future of existing programmes, the need for a national plan, and the choice of priorities are considered.
