Government and the American Economy: A New History
Valuable perspectives in dealing with our current economic crisis from the University of Chicago Press Order/Information
Much of the increase in the price of healthcare in the United States can be traced back to technology advances that improve patient outcomes, but are expensive to develop and implement. Offsetting some of that expense are the savings that result from drug therapies that have replaced other, more costly treatments. In a video interview conducted in collaboration with The Communications Institute,Knowledge @ W.P. Careyasked health economist Marjorie Baldwin of the W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University to analyze some of the causes of rising healthcare costs.

In the UK, we have a National Health Service, paid for by the taxpayer. All treatment is free at the point of delivery, whilst medicine is charged for at a standard cost for each item, and free for the retired. I am retired and take six pills a day; if I had to pay, would probably have to do without. Have also had two arteries opened up to releive angina, and, again, had I had to pay would have had to do without and would be long gone by now!
