Description
In Health Policy: Choice, Equality and Cost, David Reisman provides a clear and wide-ranging examination of how the State, the market, and the citizen can work together to meet healthcare needs. This book moves beyond simple market theories to explore why healthcare is not a standard commodity. While goods like apples and oranges can be managed solely by buyers and sellers, healthcare involves unique properties that require a different approach. Reisman explores the necessity of social regulation and political management in the healthcare sector. The text examines the roles played by a diverse group of stakeholders, including experts, insurers, politicians, bureaucrats, and the general consensus. By looking at the relationship between choice, equality, and cost, this work offers a fresh perspective on how policy can be shaped to address the complex requirements of modern healthcare systems. This is an essential read for those interested in the economic and political management of health services.
