HeathCare: You are not the customer

The Berlin Wall fell 20 years ago. The U.S. Congress and the Obama Administration are busy rebuilding it.

"American health care kills. And it's because markets for health care services are grossly distorted. That's the assessment of businessman David Goldhill, whose father died of a hospital acquired infection. Goldhill wrote up what he discovered subsequently in an article for the Atlantic Monthly entitled, "How American Health Care Killed My Father. One of the key problems in American health care, he says, is that the consumer of health care services or products is rarely paying directly." (via CatoInstituteVideo)
