The costs of care are rising rapidly, the number of uninsured Americans is at an all-time high, and public dissatisfaction is steadily increasing. How can we preserve the strengths of our current system while correcting its weaknesses? Three of America's leading health-care scholars answer that question in Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePoorly conceived federal tax policies, insurance regulations, and barriers to entry have distorted health-care markets and inhibited competition. John F. Cogan, R. Glenn Hubbard, and Daniel P. Kessler propose five key policies to build a better health-care system: (1) health-care tax reform, (2) insurance reform, (3) improvement of health-care information, (4) control of anticompetitive behavior, and (5) malpractice system reform.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTogether, these changes would harness the power of markets to deliver better health care to Americans. These reforms would strengthen consumers' ability to be cost- and value-conscious shoppers, while promoting quality and innovation in health care, pharmaceuticals, and medical technology. And, by cutting the cost of care by $60 billion per year, these reforms would make health insurance affordable for at least 6 million—and perhaps as many as 20 million—uninsured Americans.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aei Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47027165692144,"sku":"9780844771786","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780844771786_p0.jpg?v=1763816432","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780844771786","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
