Summary: Helpful to a point
Comment: It could have been because my teacher asked us very ambiguous questions, but this book was not very helpful when trying to apply its basic examples to broader concepts. It spent too little time on important topics (how doctors and hospitals force a nursing shortage, etc.) and too much time on special topics. I'd recommend purchasing the old version over the newer version though. It's just the same.

Summary: A pretty good book for what it is...
Comment: As with all economics textbooks and the subject of economics in general, this book is a bit dry. That said however, it's quite thorough in its coverage of how consumers, producers, and insurers make decisions about health and health care. It gives explanations that are rather simple to understand and goes in depth as far as would be considered normal for a 300 level elective course. I should probably note that my instructor is one of the book's authors, so take my review how you will.

This clear, step-by-step best-selling introduction to the economics of health and health care thoroughly develops and explains economic ideas and models to reflect the full spectrum of the most current health economics literature. This book uses core economic themes as basic as supply and demand, as venerable as technology or labor issues, and as modern as the economics of information. Chapter topics include health care, health capital, information, health insurance markets, managed care, nonprofit firms, hospitals, physicians and labor, the pharmaceutical industry, government intervention and regulation, and epidemiology and economics. Useful as a reference work for health service researchers, government specialists, and physicians and others in the health care field.
