6th Edition Hardcover: 576 pages This edition of Health Care Economics continues its legacy as a leader in its field. The book is unique compared to its competition in its comprehensive discussion of the various topics covered, and the number of topics it covers. Written by a distinguished economist and educator, the sixth edition maintains the book’s analytical approach in its treatment of political economics. Through comprehensive discussions, appendices, tables and figures, the author consistently illustrates the value of economics in understanding public policy issues that affect the medical services sector. Both veterans in the field of economics and readers who are new to this area of study will appreciate the book’s in-depth and straightforward treatment of important topics. Appendices include refreshers on the basics of Demand, Supply, Equilibrium Price, Price Elasticity, and Competitive and Monopoly Analysis. Heath Care Economics is primarily used as a resource for courses in health economics. It assumes little economics training and it provides an economic approach to understanding health care issues. The book is unique compared to its competition in its comprehensive discussion of the various topics covered, and the number of topics it covers. New to this edition is an appendix to Chapter One that reviews the basics of economic supply and demand analysis, and a new chapter on the Pharmaceutical Industry, which includes the most current policy issues being discussed and demonstrates the use of economics in analyzing this industry. It also contains many figures and tables to illustrate economic analysis and covers major topics in health care today such as understanding the different sectors of medical care and issues dealing with financing health care services and national health insurance. This new edition now includes an online companion with a downloadable instructor’s manual and PowerPoint slides that contain figures and tables from the book. Paul J.
