Summary
Now in its third edition, The Politics of Health Legislation: An Economic Perspective has been significantly updated with the most current information regarding healthcare legislative and regulatory outcomes.
The book contrasts the economic approach to politics with the traditional or public interest approach. Many healthcare legislative concerns are discussed including deregulation, market competition, redistribution programs, and national health insurance.
Leading health economist, Paul J. Feldstein, has expanded on his unique economics-based approach to explain legislative outcomes in the healthcare field.
