Health Care Economics and American Health Policy: A Book for the Rest of Us demystifies complex economic concepts and policies, making them accessible and easy-to-understand for students, especially those without a strong economic and policy background. The book emphasizes the implications of economic theories and policy decisions on the health care system and health outcomes. It provides an analysis of fundamental economic principles and demonstrates their application in the realm of health care policy. The book addresses a wide range of topics, including the economic underpinnings of leading health care reform proposals, the proper role of government in health care, and the financing and fairness of American health care.

Health Care Economics and American Health Policy is a unique and highly informative combination of history, economic theory and health policy designed to help readers better understand the existing health care system and how best to improve it. Consequently, it is an ideal textbook for courses in health economics, health policy, public health, and health administration.
