Author David Colton discusses The Case for Universal Health Care. If “progress”means making things better, one of the most obvious targets for improvement is the American health care system—which spends roughly twice as much per capita as its peers, and obtains worse outcomes. David Colton’s book is a terrific, fair-minded one-volume summary of this issue. (Disclaimer: I ran for Congress in 2008 on the Libertarian ticket on a pro-single-payer platform—earning the wrath of other Libertarians and gaining an opponent in the primary election.)
