Why We Spend Too Much on Health Care...and What We Can Do About It by Joseph L. Rue, Richard C. Wesbury, Stewart Bast Publisher: University Press of America Publication Date: Monday, May 03, 1993 Number of Pages: 176 ISBN: 0963202723

Book Summary: This book explodes the myths surrounding health care spending by showing that the U.S. has faced the public health challenges of AIDS, drug abuse, and teenage pregnancy with a lower rate of spending growth than most countries. The authors blame high U.S. health care costs on government spending, tax breaks for health insurance premiums, and over-regulation of the industry. They present a bold free-market plan for lowering unnecessary health care spending while retaining world-class quality and expanding access for the needy.
