Debating Universal Coverage with Norwegian Minister of Education and Research Torbjørn Isaksen

By Michael F. Cannon

In this Norwegian documentary, former Conservative Party MP and Norway's current Minister of Education and Research Torbjørn ("Thor Bear") Røe Isaksen and I debate which provides a better guarantee of access to health care -- government or a market system?

Washingtonians may recognize the locale: Bob & Edith's Diner in Arlington, Virginia.

A rough translation/transcript of the documentary is available here.
