Stossel, Sick in America, Part 1

Here is first of six segments from John Stossel’s 20/20 Special, Sick in America.  If you don’t know much about health care policy, this is a great place to start, or to recommend to others (while noting, if appropriate, that Stossel has an explicit pro-freedom point of view).

Topics: background of health care debate, pitfalls of employer-sponsored insurance and third-party payment.
