"A health-economics textbook for the rest of us. The economics of healthcare are messy. For most consumers, there's minimal control around costs or services. Sometimes doctors get paid a lot; other times they don't get paid at all. Insurance and drug companies are bad, except when they're good. Everyone still uses fax machines. If economics is the study of markets and efficiency, how do we make sense of any of this? Better Health Economics is an warts-and-all introduction to a field that is, economically speaking, more exceptions than rules. Drawing on combined decades of teaching, MIT-trained economists Tal Gross and Matthew J. Notowidigdo offer readers an accessible, nonexpert primer on the field's essential concepts-and, critically, a framework for thinking about this increasingly imperfect (and important!) market. Written in warm, spare prose and with a minimum of theory or math, Better Health Economics is an ideal entry point in health economics for the range of fields for which the topic is essential. By understanding health economics as an ongoing effort to retain good things while eliminating wasteful things, students from social science, medicine, and public policy will draw a richer and more scalable understanding of concepts that are traditionally opaque, even daunting. Better Health Economics is a love letter to a topic that is traditionally unloveable. Healthcare may be a failed market, but it's our failed market"--

Aux États-Unis, la maladie peut conduire à des situations d'endettement dramatiques. En France, on a longtemps cru que le fameux « système-de-santé-que-tout-le-monde-nous-envie » serait épargné. Le patient est pourtant souvent amené à payer des dépassements d'honoraires exorbitants, en ville comme à l'hôpital, ou à affronter des déserts médicaux. Il subit les prix très élevés de l'optique, des soins dentaires ou des prothèses auditives. Plus généralement, il pâtit de la débâcle de l'Assurance maladie, qui ne rembourse qu'environ la moitié des soins courants auxquels est confrontée la grande majorité de la population. Ainsi, la maladie n'est plus seulement une épreuve physique et morale, mais aussi une épreuve financière, largement indexée sur les inégalités sociales. Le patient renonce de plus en plus aux soins, faisant les frais de cette évolution jusque dans son corps. S'il fréquente l'hôpital public, sa souffrance rencontre celle des soignants qui, face à la folie managériale, finissent par s'accuser eux-mêmes de maltraitance involontaire. Le système de soins, initialement pensé et construit pour protéger le patient, s'est donc littéralement retourné contre lui. Le patient se trouve dépossédé de son bien le plus précieux, sa santé, qui devient une formidable source de profit pour les cliniques privées, les compagnies d'assurances et l'industrie pharmaceutique. Il est grand temps de réagir.
