In [this podcast](https://www.cato.org/multimedia/daily-podcast/romneycare-free-riding-fact-checking), I discuss [the flap between Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum](https://www.cato.org/romneycare-free-riders/) over [RomneyCare](https://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=11115)’s effect on free riding. I also talk about how some fact checkers misfired when looking into the issue.
