To Heal Healthcare, Get Government Out

What Then Must We Do?

I speak with economist Bob Murphy about what needs to happen in order to heal the deep dysfunction that is healthcare in America. If you think we can "reform" our way out of this mess, you might need to listen to this interview. We unravel the complexities of regulation, the insurance industry, licensing, and what an alternative way might look like.
Bob's book on "surviving the sick-care sinkhole" is here.
