Distributional considerations are of central importance in the
evolution of health care systems. Who gets served, who pays, and
how, as a result, improved health is distributed, are among the
pressing issues addressed in this volume. "Health, Health Care and
Health Economics: Perspectives on Distribution" focuses on
fundamental issues of equity or distribution in health care and
health, and provides a stimulating and provocative discussion of
the:
Persistence of inequalities despite policy interventions
designed to remove economic barriers to access to care
Association between income and income inequalities on the one
hand and health inequalities on the other
Under-emphasis on matters of distribution, relative to issues of
efficiency, in much of the health economics research to date, and
the potential policy distortions thereby created. This volume will
be an indispensable sourcebook for all health economists as well as
health care policy makers and managers.
'This book recognizes a milestone in the evolution of health
economics as a discipline.' Joseph P. Newhouse, "Harvard University
