Many health economics texts ignore market forces and assume that because there is so much government intervention in health care that it must be a good thing.""Very user friendly. Lots of illustrations and examples. Significant instructor resources to aid with lecture and homework."About the AuthorDr. Stephen Neun is Vice President for Academic Affairs at Antioch University New England.
