The Economics & Politics of Health (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780807841402)

This study analyzes the entire health scene, providing valuable insights into the working of the health care practices, and offering policy recommendations for more effective distribution. Although the study focuses mainly on cost containment, it also explores the relationship between health and medical care, the expansion of the demand for medical care and the over-regulated supply, and the economic differences between emergency and nonemergency care.
