Aggregate health care expenditures and national income. Is health care a luxury good
TL;DR: The aggregate data show health care to be, if anything, a necessity rather than a luxury good, and this paper argues that these implications rely upon the application of microeconomic analysis to macroeconomic data, and that this is not appropriate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scottish general practitioners' attitudes and knowledge in respect of prescribing costs.
TL;DR: Most general practitioners agreed that costs should be borne in mind when choosing medicines but their knowledge of drug costs was often inaccurate, and there was a tendency to overstate the cost of cheap drugs and understate thecost of expensive ones.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
