title: The European Court of Justice and the Keller case: a bridge too far?
abstract: This paper examines the outcomes of the latest ruling from the European Court of Justice on receiving hospital care abroad. It has been argued that the Court has extended the patient's right to cross border care towards third countries at the cost of member states' autonomy on organising their social health system.
