Health Care and Behavioral Economics

The Director of the US Congressional Budget Office posted on his blog yesterday that he gave a talk to the US National Academy of Social Insurance about Health Care and Behavioral Economics. The talk emphasises "that effective policy design, including policies affecting health care, must reflect more of the insights from behavioral economics".

I am fan of institutional economy, but I believe they have much in common, so thank you for info! And I think health care policy is maybe the most "behavioral" one, connected much more with human emotions than with pure mathematical logic...
