Health Care for Us All: Getting More for Our Investment
Review
“Two Baylor economists apply economic principles, rather than political considerations, to health care reform and conclude that we can achieve universal coverage, lower costs, and satisfied consumers and patients. Their important contribution to the debate is showing that the key to reforming our health care system isn’t expanding government control, which has largely caused most of the current problems, but getting the economic incentives right.” – Dr. Merrill Matthews, Institute for Policy Innovation “Grinols and Henderson have produced a complete package for understanding and solving the complex issues in health care markets, with a bonus of a really well-written and easily readable economics primer. Even if your interest is not health care, you will enjoy their witty but relevant discussion of how markets work. If health care is your interest, they present a provocative plan to solve the problem of providing universal access while at the same time allowing market forces to give both providers and users the incentives necessary to control costs. This book should be on the must-read list for anyone seriously interested in health care reform.” – Thomas R. Saving, Texas A & M University “Professors Grinols and Henderson make an important contribution to the health policy debate at a time when the nation is highly focused on this issue. In particular, their sound analysis of the problems we face and their clear explanation of underlying economic principles can guide policy makers in assessing the potential impact of major changes they may propose to the one-sixth of the economy represented by our health sector.” – Grace-Marie Turner, President, Galen Institute “Health Care for Us All is first-rate analysis of our healthcare problems. Professors Earl Grinols and James Henderson, two scholars at Baylor University, demonstrate that there are solutions to the nation’s problems that contain none of the undesirable side effects that would be seen in the enactment of currently proposed health care reforms for the United States or the failed socialized systems of some other industrialized nations. Applying basic economic principles, they present their ‘Targeted Intervention Plan,’ which is readily comprehensible, makes sense to the ordinary person, but most of all provides a compassionate delivery of health care services.” – Walter E. Williams, George Mason University Continue reading…
