Health Economics and Financing serves as the perfect primer for the economic analysis of medical markets. It prepares students of medicine, public health, policy and administration who wish to engage the central economic issues of their field—without extensive mathematics or highly technical analytical techniques. Getzen’s text includes effective explanations of how and why health and medicine are both like and unlike other economic goods, as well as knowledge about institutional features, for students who intend to go into this unique and rewarding line of work. Health Economics and Financing serves as an excellent primer for introducing students to the principles and core concepts of health economics rather than its literature, equations, or research methods. Review: This book is so good that it makes healthcare understandable. - Excellent book that explains why the health system in USA is so complicated, expensive, and ineffective. Does an excellent job of describing what healthcare should do, and compares USA with other countries where healthcare actually works. It is not naïve when it assess other countries solutions as not necessarily applicable to USA, but takes the better ideas, and gives some hope. Review: Good book for everyone - Very informative .

Would have been nice addition as I spend a great deal of time ...
My only fault with the book is that it does not offer any audio accompaniment. Would have been nice addition as I spend a great deal of time in the car, working full time, often overtime while going to school, and raising 3 kids. Time management is the ultimate win when you are already stretched very thin.

Purchased for Class
This is a textbook and what was required for my economic class. I am not an economics major but it is a bit wordy and redundant and some of the chapters are long and boring at times. How can anyone write a review about a textbook? You buy them to read for your class so that you can answer your discussion board smartly.
