For those of you in the Washington, DC, area, on Sunday our local NPR station, WAMU (88.5 FM), broadcast a debate over whether the federal government should pursue a policy of universal health insurance coverage. Super-famous debaters included John Stossel of ABC News, Paul Krugman of *The New York Times*, and me.

The debate is now available on the [NPR website](http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=94812584), and on iTunes under “Intelligence Squared.”
