Rea​son​.tv has put together a great [video interview](http://reason.tv/video/show/glenn-whitman-interview) where economist Glen Whitman discusses his recent Cato Institute study, “[Bending the Productivity Curve: Why America Leads the World in Medical Innovation](https://www.cato.org/pubs/pas/pa654.pdf).”

How would the health care legislation before Congress affect medical innovation? See Reason.tv’s related video: “[Would ObamaCare Kill Medical Innovation?](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jadstGm-foY&feature=player_embedded)”
