US Healthcare: A dismal state? with Michael Cannon.

Want to reveal partisanship? Try mentioning US Healthcare. Is there a more debated complex subject where actual knowledge is such a scarcity?

Helping us make sense of it all, we are joined by Michael F. Cannon, who is the Cato Institute’s director of health policy studies. His scholarship spans public health; regulation of providers and drugs; employer-sponsored and other private health insurance; federal programs like Medicare and Medicaid, medical malpractice litigation; administrative law, and finally, international health systems.

Cannon is “an influential health-care wonk,” according to the Washington Post, and Washingtonian magazine named Cannon one of Washington, DC’s “Most Influential People” in the last four years. He has appeared in too numerous to mention international news outlets.

We are also joined by Karsten Bo Larsen, head of research at CEPOS, to offer some Danish comparisons.

Recorded in June at CEPOS, Copenhagen.
