David A. Hyman is the H. Ross & Helen Workman Chair in Law and director of the Epstein Program in Health Law and Policy at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, as well as an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute.

Earlier this month, Hyman gave the following erudite presentation on the implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act — which he calls PPACA, not “ObamaCare” or “the Affordable Care Act” — at a faculty seminar hosted by the University of Chicago’s MacLean Center for Clinical Medical Ethics.

Hyman’s remarks begin at about 5:00.

Be sure to read Hyman’s excellent satire, Medicare Meets Mephistopheles.
