Here’s an interesting video in which the economics of health care are described in slightly more vernacular language than my colleague Michael Cannon would typically use. I venture to say that the presenter makes the eminently capable Mr. Cannon look quite staid.

This is a conservative, of course, and not a libertarian. Much of what comes after the first two minutes is off the mark in my opinion. But it’s good entertainment and it carries some good messages about how socialized medicine is a policy that’s best regarded as somewhat infelicitous.
