My health economics course is going well, at least as far as I can tell after one week. We started last week with a quick revision of basic economics concepts, which are all about choosing between two sets of goods: Karen lives alone on a desert island and can spend her day producing food or clothing. That was one of them, but then the pairs of goods started to get a bit odd: Simon has an income of $300 and has a choice of consuming butter or guns. I mean, I thought Karen, stuck on that desert island, had problems, but Simon really needs help.
