There are a number of health economics or healthcare economics textbooks out there. Some have been through many editions, so they must have something going for them as that indicates they are being used in health economics classes around the country. This is a new book, first edition.I think this book is more readable than other health economics textbook. It will seem to students less like a textbook.The authors are smart, insightful, clever but also witty with the occasional joke.Examine the tables of contents of the various books before choosing one for a class. Some other ones have more extensive coverage of traditional microeconomics topics and more of the usual graphs and charts. This book does not try to cover everything like some of the other books, but instead focuses more on a handful of topics the authors think most important. They do make a good choice in that regard.Keep in mind this is not a comic book - the student will have to concentrate to make it through the material. But probably less likely to fall asleep than with some of the other larger textbooks.So I recommend it for a course in health economics.
This book's hard cover version is too expensive!!
Great book. Easy read.
Very through book, full of information and million formulas ! If you are taking a health class at FAU this is the book needed!
charts dont seem to show up in kindle version
