The Original Sin of US Health Policy
From The Cato Weekly Podcast · 30:47
Show by Cato Institute
Why is American health care so expensive and complicated? Michael F. Cannon argues that its roots can be traced back to a often forgotten feature of the federal tax code: a supposed tax break that actually mandates expensive, low-quality health insurance. Rikki Schlott sits down with Cannon to unpack how the tax code reshaped our health care system, distorted labor and health care markets, and left workers with less control over how their own compensation is spent.Read Michael's article "The Original Sin of US Health Policy": https://www.cato.org/study/original-sin-us-health-policyProducer: Barbara GallettiEditor: Darren WalkerPost Production: Sedona LaMarreDirector of Photography: Jonathan FieldsAudio Engineer: Cecil ShermanAssistant Editor: Lester RomeroAssistant Producer: Elcid DemonteverdeMotion Graphics: Jonathan FieldsOriginal Music: Cecil ShermanExecutive Producer: Kristina Kendall Hosted on Acast.
