Henry Aaron on Health Care Costs

In this bonus mid-week podcast, Henry Aaron talks with host Russ Roberts about health care costs. Researchers in a New England Journal of Medicine article have estimated that the US could save $209 billion if the US went to a single-payer system like Canada. Is this number reliable? Aaron takes a deeper look at the estimate and discusses the relevance of such estimates for health care policy. This is a follow-up to an earlier podcast with Arnold Kling.
