Summary
Bob Murphy has co-written far and away the best book on health care from a libertarian perspective. But it's not just economics and policy in here, great and original as that material is. It's also chapters like "Surviving the Hospital" and "Medical Screening & Elective Procedures: Worth the Risk?" One of my favorite episodes so far.

| 0:56.2 | been busy on another project, of course, Contra Krugman, our weekly podcast refuting Paul Krugman. |
