Zusammenfassung
Der Artikel bietet eine problemorientierte Skizze der Sozialpolitik in den USA. Aus einer vergleichenden Perspektive werden dabei sowohl konzeptionelle als auch empirische Besonderheiten des US-amerikanischen Wohlfahrtsregimes diskutiert. Anhand der Bereiche Alterssicherung, Gesundheit und Sozialhilfe werden die Kernmerkmale von US-Sozialpolitik herausgearbeitet, die sich insbesondere im Bereich der privaten Absicherung und der staatlichen Subventionierung von Sozialpolitik über das Steuersystem zeigen.
Für eine detaillierte Betrachtung der Thematik siehe auch Grell und Lammert 2013
