The Economics of Health and Health Care
- Share to:
Health care accounts for over one-sixth of the U.S. economy! In 2009, the year before passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), the Obama reform legislation, about 50 million Americans at any moment in time lacked health insurance. Health, health care costs, and health insurance have dominated the economic and political landscape in the United States and many other countries. Health economics studies the allocation of resources to and within the health economy. Because the health care sector has become the largest sector of the U.S. economy, and its share of gross domestic product (GDP) is expected to grow well into the twenty-first century, we should not be surprised that health economics has emerged as a distinct specialty within economics.
