This book is an economist's view of the health care sector with little economics jargon, accessible to the informed layperson as well as the professional. Knowledge of the basic economic concepts, however, will enable the reader to understand the recent tremendous changes in the U.S. health care industry. Excerpts from health industry antitrust litigations are featured at the end of many chapters, providing a real world understanding of how the health care marketplace behaves. Comparisons with the systems of Canada, Israel, and the Netherlands further illustrate the opportunities and complex dilemmas inherent in any proposed reform of the U.S. health care marketplace.
