Measuring the Prices of Medical Treatments
ISBN: 9780815783435 / Angielski / Miękka / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. How serious is medical care inflation in the USA? For many years, price indexes for medical care have outstripped the overall rate of inflation.

Some research, reported in this volume, suggests that - contrary to the usual presumption of runaway medical inflation - prices for at least some medical care interventions are not rising rapidly and may even be falling.
