Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi famously said that we would have to pass health care reform to find out what’s in it.

Michael Tanner, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute and author of the new study, “Bad Medicine: The Real Costs and Consequences of the New Health Care Law,” will discuss these and related issues.
