Many people believe that health insurance and health care markets require more government regulation than other markets in order to work efficiently. In addition many believe that access to health care is too important to be allocated by market forces, because low-income Americans cannot afford adequate health care. Come hear Peter VanDoren examine these assumptions and discuss what health care markets can and cannot do and whether government can improve their performance.
