Solid, even-handed treatment of a touchy subject
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I am currently reading this book for an online course I am taking, and I am very impressed. It is well-reasoned, seeks to look at all perspectives objectively and avoids the trap of taking sides in the current healthcare debate. While the subject matter is by no means easy, the book is nonetheless highly accessible and engaging. I would not hesitate to recommend it to anybody wishing to gain a solid understanding of our healthcare system in the United States.

The perfect introduction to health care economics.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I wrote a paper on managed care competition for an economics course. This book proved invaluable. Without any previous knowledge of health economics, I was able to read, learn, and understand a fairly complex subject in a short amount of time using this book. The text covers everything but remains at an undergrad level. The arguments and examples are simple, clear, interesting, and easy to remember. I definitely found this to be the best introduction and overview to health economics, after having read six or seven books on the subject.
