The Effects of Healthcare Quality on the Willingness to Pay More Taxes to Improve Public Healthcare: Testing Two Alternative Hypotheses from the Research Literature

The research literature discusses two opposite hypotheses regarding the possible effects of healthcare quality on the willingness to pay more taxes to improve public healthcare. One hypothesis theorizes that a lower quality of public healthcare may weaken the willingness to pay more taxes towards im...
