Patients Are Not Consumers
Politicians talk about the act of receiving health care as if it were no different from a commercial transaction, like buying a car.Channeling Kenneth Arrow
Readers familiar with health care economics may have noticed that today’s column was largely a translation into English of part of Kenneth Arrow’s seminal article on the economics of medical care (pdf), especially part IIB — the article that explained, half a century ago, why health care can’t be treated as an ordinary market. It’s amazing that we’re still fighting to get people to understand the same lesson.
