Section: BooksTitle: Market and health / David ReismanAuthor: Reisman, DavidPublication: Hampshire ; London : St. Martin's Press, 1993Physical description: 254 p. ; 22 cmNotes: Sumario: After a short introduction, the book considers the demand for health that originates with the patient, the practitioner and the public that has an interest of its own. A section on the principles and provision of health insurance makes the point that the funds which pay for the treatment are often not taken from the pocket of the consumer who enjoys the service. The book examines the four sources of the supply of health: the individual, the community, the doctor and the hospital. It concludes with a discussion of the market valuation of a human life that analyses the ethical, economic and collective choices faced by a society in which only scarcity is freely availableMateria / lugar / evento: SaludSeguro de enfermedadAsistencia sanitariaEconomía de la saludÉticaOther categories: 343Standard numbers: ISBN 0-312-09981-9Rights: In Copyright (InC)Referencias externas:
