Historians have shown that, across time, hospital systems tended to be created in developed countries where at least one of these public or private elements was prominent. Spain provides an excellent case study of how a country in Western Europe made modest progress with respect to its hospital system between the 1880s and 1930s in a context of low coverage capacity in all four of the areas that comprise the mixed economy of welfare. Changes to the hospital map occurred above all during the 1920s and 1930s with the emergence of new actors responding to new demands: companies that created hospitals for workplace victims; friendly societies; insurance companies; and medical specialists who set up clinics to attend to an emerging middle class. Despite this, the majority of the working population lacked hospital coverage due to the state's inability to establish a health insurance scheme in a country with a predominance of agricultural workers. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Social History is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
