Here’s a midweek bonus podcast on the issue of health care costs that came up recently at EconTalk and here at Cafe Hayek. It’s an interview with Henry Aaron of the Brookings Institutions about the challenges of measuring administrative costs and how much they might fall if we had government-funded health care.

…couple weeks and this could've been a Hanukkah gift.
Forget about health care costs, did you ask Henry Aaron what he REALLY thought about Barry Bonds breaking his all-time home run record???
Why would administrative costs fall when the government is doing the administration? Ever been to Washington? See all those big buildings filled with workers? They're administrating.
The costs of government funded health care is 'the government' and loss of freedom.
Why anyone would want to turn their health care over to the oligarchy, I don't know.
