This book draws on behavioral economics to explain anomalies that are intrinsic in the U.S. health care system. Rather than focusing on promoting or analyzing policy, author Douglas E. Hough hones in on our sometimes irrational actions, their roots, and what we can do to influence our behavior, nudging the health care system towards better practices.
