Inflated Health Care Costs: The Curse of Cross-Subsidies w/John H. Cochrane | Perspectives on Policy

I don't support his idea of having the government expand how much health care it pays for. I think there are a lot of problems with that, fiscally and otherwise. But if that was the price to get rid of a lot of the restrictions and impositions from government on the health care industry it could be worth it. The thing is that you have to have movement on those other things first, otherwise you just get more government spending with the all the old market distortions. Also to be a net overall improvement you would have to make a larger move towards freeing up the market then towards more government spending. And I think more government spending could bring about pressure for more government control so it might just be a net movement in a backwards direction. Still its an interesting enough thought. Also I agree with the video before that part, and its short anyway. I will post things I don't totally agree with if I think they make some good points.
