Reason Roundtable
Health Care Reform

January 24, 2007

Health care reform is a hot topic of debate today. Massachusetts and California have inaugurated plans to curb rising health care spending while containing the swelling ranks of the uninsured. Pennsylvania's governor this week came up with his own prescription to improve quality, reduce errors and contain costs. Twenty more states are working on their own versions of health care reform. Bush laid out his proposed cure for the problem of the uninsured in his state-of-union address. But what is the root cause of America's health care malaise and how should it be addressed? The new installment of Reason Roundtable features ideas on health care reform by Reason's Shikha Dalmia, The Manhattan Institute's David Gratzer, and Greg Scandlen of Consumers for Health Care Choices. Reader comments are welcome. Please send them to reason.roundtable@reason.org
