Perfect Brand New Text Book with No Lines

This book is used in the CEBS course for health care economics. I was skeptical about ordering from an online source. The book was exactly the right book and arrived in perfect condition even sealed in the factory wrapper. The delivery was very quick. This is an outstanding way to get textbooks - no standing in line - book comes to the mailbox. All you have to do is start studying!

A Superior Text

This exceptional college level text applies economic theory to every aspect of the healthcare field. The authors' profound and insightful conclusions are drawn from real world examples that allow physicians, healthcare consultants, HMO managers, government officials and yes, interested students, to comprehend the implications of healthcare issues from an organizational and governmental perspective. Additionally, the authors' conclusions are applicable when analyzing the American macro economy in which 14% of GDP originates in the healthcare field. A more astute microeconomics text does not exist!

Absolutely and Unequivocally!

After several years of business school, I can sincerely attest to the usefulness of this text. By concisely analyzing and interpreting the challenging material, Santerre and Neun transform Health Economics into a universally interpretable language. Importantly, the plethora of insights and empirical studies enhance each chapter. Also, this powerful text negates the need for course enhancing supplementary readings. This is one of very few texts that is worth its weight in gold!
