Understanding Health Care Co‐ops
Watch the Event
With the “public option” for health care reform faltering, “co‐ops” are increasingly being discussed as an alternative. But what are health insurance co‐operatives? How do they work? Are they a viable alternative or just the public option by a different name? Cato senior fellow Michael Tanner will discuss the history, successes, and failures of health insurance co‐ops, and how they may or may not fit into health care reform.
Featuring Michael D. Tanner, Senior Fellow, Cato Institute, and author, Healthy Competition: What’s Holding Back Health Care and How to Free It.
