Abstract
|
|
|
|
| This chapter seeks to map out the EU integration process that has brought us the current mechanisms for accessing foreign EU healthcare systems by entertaining two scenarios. In the first, a patient seeks to access healthcare in an EU Member State other than the one where they reside. In the second, the patient relocates to another EU Member State and then wants to be affiliated to that state’s healthcare system. Two perspectives are then consecutively applied. Firstly, the structuralist perspective, which discusses the role of the EU as an actor in cross-border healthcare, in view of the competences it has to that effect. And secondly, the functionalist perspective. From this perspective it is possible to evaluates the significance of intergovernmental interests in the EU decision-making process, to the extent that those are incompatible with the internal market project. Furthermore, it gives insight into how those continue to facilitate the stratified social membership that is EU citizenship. |
