Experts Debate Merits of Single-Payer, Market-Based Health Care
KPCC's "Patt Morrison" on Thursday included a discussion with two experts on opposite sides of the debate over the role the government should play in the health care system.
Guests on the program included:
- Deborah Burger, president of the California Nurses Association, which supports a single-payer health care system; and
- David Gratzer, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, who advocates a greater focus on efficiency and controlling costs over universal coverage (Lazarus, "Patt Morrison," KPCC, 1/17).
