Phelps combines current economic thinking and research in health economics with real health policy problems. Early chapters develop necessary methodological foundations supported with concrete empirical studies. Later chapters focus on major policy areas such as the structure and effects of Medicare reform, competition and regulation in health care, and international comparisons of health care systems, building on the conceptual material developed earlier in the book.
