The question of how to allocate scarce medical resources has become
an important public policy issue in recent decades. Cost-utility
analysis is the most commonly used method for determining the
allocation of these resources, but this book counters the argument
that overcoming its inherent imbalances is simply a question of
implementing methodological changes. The Economics of Resource
Allocation in Health Care represents the first comprehensive
analysis of equity weighting in health care resource allocation
that offers a fundamental critique of its basic framework. It
offers a critique of health economics, putting the discourse on
economic evaluation into its broader socio-political context. Such
an approach broadens the debate on fairness in health economics and
ties it in with deeper-rooted problems in moral philosophy.
Ultimately, this interdisciplinary study calls for the adoption of
a fundamentally different paradigm to address the distribution of
scarce medical resources. This book will be of interest to policy
makers, health care professionals, and post-graduate students
looking to broaden their understanding of the economics of the
health care system.
