Many economics teachers bring the economics of health care into their teaching at an early stage of a new course. It is a terrific issue to look at when considering the basic economic problem of unlimited wants and limited means, the factors of production used in providing health care and also the issues of opportunity cost and key decisions about who gets the care they need and how best to fund appropriate healthcare for the population.
