Our society is developing the consensus that adequate health care is the right of all citizens, rather than a privilege of the wealthy or a welfare benefit of the poor. At the same time, the current crisis in health care seems to question the feasibility of making this consensus a reality. A vast array of complex and interrelated issues are involved in the problem of providing health care services. This paper reviews these issues from the consumer's perspective.
