Summary

In today's flagship Lions of Liberty podcast, Marc welcomes in Jeff Kanter, co-founder of Health Excellence Plus, a longtime sponsor of the show. Jeff has over 30 years experience in the health insurance industry, and has helped lead the way for free market solutions to controlling the cost of medical care. After detailing his path to libertarianism through the 1988 Ron Paul presidential campaign, Jeff helps uncover exactly why the health insurance industry is such a mess. He details how government intervention created such a convoluted industry with perverse incentives, and how freedom-loving individuals can subvert the system and control the cost of their health care.
