In this book, Phelps and Parente explore the US health care system
and set out the case for its reform. They trace the foundations of
today's system, and show how distortions in the incentives facing
participants in the health care market could be corrected in order
to achieve lower costs, a higher quality of care, a higher level of
patient safety, and a more efficient allocation of health care
resources. Phelps and Parente propose novel yet economically robust
changes to US tax law affecting health insurance coverage and
related issues. They also discuss a series of specific improvements
to Medicare and Medicaid, and assess potential innovations that
affect all of health care, including chronic disease management,
fraud and abuse detection, information technology, and other key
issues. The Economics of US Health Care Policy will be illuminating
reading for anyone with an interest in health policy, and will be a
valuable supplementary text for courses in health economics and
health policy, including for students without advanced training in
economics.

Charles E. Phelps provides a comprehensive look at our health care
system, including how the current system evolved, how the health
care sector behaves, and a detailed analysis of "the good, the bad,
and the ugly" parts of the system--from technological advances (the
"good") to variations in treatment patterns (the "bad") to hidden
costs and perverse incentives (the "ugly"). He shows that much of
the cost of health care ultimately derives from our own lifestyle
choices and thus that education may well be the most powerful form
of health reform we can envision.

Can we really use economic thinking to understand our health care
system? Health Economics, now in its sixth edition, not only shows
how this is done, but also provides the tools to analyze the
economic behavior of patients and providers in health care markets.
Health Economics combines current economic theory, recent research,
and up-to-date empirical studies into a comprehensive overview of
the field. Key changes to this edition include: additional
discussion of the consequences of the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act (PPACA), in light of current political changes;
an extensive discussion of quality measures; more discussion of
preventive services; a new section on drug markets and regulation;
discussion of Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs); new
references, problem sets, and an updated companion website with
lecture slides. Designed for use in upper-division undergraduate
economics studies, the book is suitable for students and lecturers
in health economics, microeconomics, public health policy and
practice, and health and society. It is also accessible to
professional students in programs such as public policy, public
health, business, and law.
Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) plays an important role in health
policy debates, helping to shape resource allocation and pricing
decisions. Yet many economists also recognize that the current
framework can offer misleading and incomplete results. Current CEA
methods imply that health improvements are equally valuable to
those in good health and poor health, which fails to recognize the
increased value of health improvements for those with severe
illness or disability. Valuing Health introduces the generalized
risk-adjusted cost-effectiveness (GRACE) model as a more accurate
method for determining the value of medical treatments and
technologies. The GRACE model generalizes the underlying CEA
assumption of constant gains in health care, demonstrating through
diminishing returns the greater economic value of improving the
quality of life for individuals with disability or severe illness.
Valuing Health also provides sensitivity analyses to show how value
measurements change alongside key parameters, including the
potential effects of various combinations of risk preferences on
the aggregate value of treating a defined population with any set
of available treatments. It concludes with a discussion of the
ethical differences between the CEA and GRACE methods and outlines
steps for implementing the GRACE model to replace standard CEA as
the proper method for valuing medical interventions. Valuing Health
offers a revelatory reconceptualization of current valuation models
in health economics with clear guidance for inclusive pricing and
regulation that reflects the true value of modern health care.
