Politicians, Public Options, and Patients: What the Canadian Experience Teaches Us About Political Control of Health Care November 16, 2009

Hosts: Galen Institute, Hudson Institute. The health reform debate in the U.S. is moving toward proposals that would put more and more health care and coverage decisions under government control. To discuss how this plays out in reality, Brian Lee Crowley, an expert on the Canadian health system, will provide insights into the likely consequences of what the public plan and other measures will mean for the United States. Crowley will be joined for this discussion by Grace-Marie Turner, President of the Galen Institute, and Tevi Troy, Visiting Senior Fellow at Hudson and Former Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Christopher Sands will moderate.
