Bonus podcast on health care costs

by Russ Roberts on November 15, 2007

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.

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.

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.
