But not in a bad way.

Yesterday, the Kaiser Family Foundation held a forum to celebrate the release of *[Sick: The Untold Story of America’s Health Care Crisis—and the People Who Pay the Price](http://www.sickthebook.com/)*. The book’s author is Jonathan Cohn, senior editor at *The New Republic*. I was invited to comment. Susan Dentzer of the *Newshour with Jim Lehrer* moderated the discussion, and was even kind enough to plug [my book](http://www.catostore.org/index.asp?fa=ProductDetails&method=cats&scid=33&pid=1441272).

You can find the video, a podcast, bios, and even our slide presentations at the [web page](http://www.kaisernetwork.org/health_cast/hcast_index.cfm?display=detail&hc=2110) Kaiser devotes to the forum.
