Changed course textbook to this one instead of the traditional Bhattacharya so had to read through it all. Pretty dry overall but great intro for MHA and MPH students where this’ll be their only exposure to these topics. A few complaints. E.g. Chapter 16- wish the PPACA wasn’t the BIG focus and instead wish it focused more on how other healthcare systems approach healthcare economics decisions.

I read it so I’m counting it towards my book goal lol

By some miracle this book led me to an A in surprisingly academically rigorous health economics course at my… you know… academically rigorous institution #wherefungoestodie
