Market-Based Health Care Summary

Market-Based Health Care: All Myth, No Reality by Grace Budrys, PhD, Professor Emerita, Sociology and MPH Program, DePaul University

Market-Based Health Care will define for students the challenges, arguments and politics behind the concept of consumer driven health care including what it would look like if the business sector would do a better job of organizing our health care arrangements and remove any governmental components built into the system. As a sociologist interested in health care, Budrys focuses on the impact our health care arrangements have on not just an economic level but how they affect people as well. This is an overwhelmingly complex topic and debate and one that is discussed widely in the classroom. This will be the first text to clearly present the market-based health care model and how doctors, medical insurance and big pharma play a role in its development.

Market-Based Health Care Reviews

Market-Based Health Care engages the critical question of the role of private markets in health care from positive and normative perspectives and offers substantial engagement with important issues of fairness, choice, and universal access. The combination of health institutions, economic theory, and real-world critiques of economic theory is a useful and clear way to approach this important topic. -- Michael Ash, University of Massachusetts, Amherst
