Description

This book guides you toward reconsidering the field of health economics as it is taught & practiced. The book discusses & analyzes the assumptions that must be met for a competitive market to be successful, concludes that these assumptions are not met in the health field, & provides a number of applications for health policy. "Tom Rice has done all of us in health a favor. In succinct, accessible-at times even delightful- prose, he has expressed so many of our concerns about what sometimes passes for 'conventional' health economics." - Gavin Mooney, Ph.D., Professor of Health Economics, University of Sydney, Australia.
