Description

This CRC Press book examines the fundamental paradox of the American healthcare system: despite spending per capita that far exceeds other developed nations, health outcomes measured by life expectancy and infant mortality remain significantly lower than comparable countries. Selected by the Association of University Programs in Health Administration for the prestigious Bugbee-Falk Book Award, this comprehensive analysis explores whether the health sector functions as a curse or blessing within the broader economy. The text investigates why American healthcare now represents a fifth of the nation's economy whilst hospital-acquired infections persist and healthcare costs continue to financially cripple households. This economics and theory title provides critical insights into the structural inefficiencies, cost drivers, and policy implications that define modern American healthcare delivery and financial sustainability.

Key Features

Examines healthcare's impact on the broader economy, explaining how the sector now accounts for a fifth of total economic activity in the United States.
