In this chapter three scenarios on the future of European integration in healthcare are developed and analysed. Scenario A is based on the assumption that healthcare should remain entirely in the competencies of the Member States and their regions. Scenario B is based on two assumptions. First, the free movement of individuals, goods, services and capital has to he applied to all structures and processes of healthcare. Second, it is acknowledged that healthcare is part of the European Social Model and therefore the SEM has to be contained in a social framework to ensure that a basic set of rules on equity and solidarity is not undermined. Scenario C is characterised by the absence of an overarching or consensual policy vision.
