Laissez Faire Healthcare? Opportunities and Limits of a Free Market in Healthcare

Some argue that to improve the cost and quality of healthcare, the government should get out of the way and let the free market reign. Yet healthcare is different from other consumer products and services in ways that can make such an approach challenging. This webinar examined the opportunities and limits of a free market approach to healthcare.

The webinar feature a discussion, moderated by the Hub’s Lynn Quincy, with Wendell Potter, former insurance executive and New York Times best-selling author of Deadly Spin: An Insurance Company Insider Speaks Out on How Corporate PR is Killing Health Care and Deceiving Americans and Nation on the Take: How Big Money Corrupts Our Democracy and What We Can Do About It.
