    Earlier this week, Harold Pollack and I sat down, and through the miracle of modern technology, had a video chat. It was posted over at healthinsurance.org: “How I became a health policy wonk, my favorite policy charts, and what’s ahead for health reform“. Go check it out.

    I thought I’d post the video here as well. It’s in two parts.

      Keep the conversations going. FEAR (False Evidence Appearing Real) and the USA health system is like a multilevel shell game with human peas.
