Christy Ford Chapin on the Evolution of the American Health Care System

Christy Ford Chapin talks with host Russ Roberts about her book, Ensuring America's Health, a history of how America's health care system came to be dominated by insurance companies or government agencies paying doctors per procedure. She explains how this system emerged from efforts by the American Medical Association to stop reform efforts. Chapin argues that different models might have emerged that would lead to a more effective health care system.
