Overcoming Obamacare: Three Approaches to Reversing the Government Takeover of Health Care

Overcoming Obamacare: Three Approaches to Reversing the Government Takeover of Health Care

Author: Cato Institute February 24, 2015 Duration: 1:25:13

Contrary to myth, Obamacare’s opponents have many alternatives to the health care law that is once again before the Supreme Court. The Washington Examiner’s Philip Klein, a leading conservative health care writer, takes us inside the debate on the right over how to overhaul the health care system along free-market lines in the wake of a ruling in King v. Burwell, and possibly in the wake of Obamacare.

Drawing on eight years of experience reporting on the issue, and dozens of interviews with prominent health policy experts, Klein lays out a free-market vision for health care and presents three competing approaches to getting there: reform, replace, and restart. Join us to hear from Klein, as well as from leading proponents of each school of thought.
