In this classic book, Professor Victor Fuchs draws on his deep understanding ofthe strengths and limitations of economics and his intimate knowledge of health
care institutions to help readers understand the problems every nation faces in
trying to allocate health resources efficiently and equitably. Six complementary
papers dealing with national health insurance, poverty and health, and other policy
issues, including his 1996 presidential address to the American Economic Association,accompany the original 1974 text.
Health professionals, policy-makers, social scientists, students and concerned
citizens will all benefit from this highly readable, authoritative, and nuanced discussion of the difficult choices that lie ahead.
