As we await the Supreme Court Ruling on the Affordable Care Act, AEI adjunct scholar Dr. Christopher Conover sits down with us to discuss his new book, The American Health Economy Illustrated. Dr. Conover marshals an astounding amount of data to break down in simple language how the health economy works. He describes the major changes in spending on health care over the past few decades, how your health care dollar is spent, government involvement in the health sector, and how the U.S. compares to other countries. We also talk about likely impacts be from the Supreme Court’s health care ruling. Enjoy!

2 Comments Written by Andrew

In the latest episode of AEI’s Banter Podcast, AEI economist Andrew Biggs comes into the studio to discuss all things entitlement reform. Andrew marshals his extensive knowledge of the subject to put into perspective the current unsustainability of entitlement spending, possible sources of reform, and how reforming entitlements is an imperative to help the disadvantaged. We also discuss public sector unions in the wake of Wisconsin. This being the fifth part (Stu, is that right?) of our Road to Freedom series, we also focus the discussion on just how entitlement reform can help maximize individual choice.
