Health economics and hospital behaviour

Mostly all of the adults in the United States are overweight. Some people drink excessively, some smoke, and some even use illicit drugs. Many seek medical help when it is almost inappropriate; others do not fill out or take away their literature even when they are in the grip of a chronic drug-related illness. Millions of people and families do not sign up to receive the health insurance they deserve. Those who sign up for coverage that offer small benefits for each premium dollar do not usually switch to the most appropriate plan. Few benefit from the resources available that provide valuable information on the quality and cost of other health systems, hospitals, and doctors People’s decisions need to be improved. In each of the above cases, a particular type of behaviour change may be of personal interest. This view, however, poses a challenge to the traditional economy, which, as discussed in more detail below, assumes that people behave in certain ways that are considered “reasonable.”
