Does America's Health Care Sector Produce More Health? POLICY FORUM Friday, December 5, 2008 12:00 PM (Luncheon to Follow) Featuring Glen Whitman, Associate Professor of Economics, California State University-Northridge; Ezra Klein, Associate editor, The American Prospect; Moderator Michael F. Cannon, Cato Institute The Cato Institute 1000 Massachusetts Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20001 tv Watch the Event Live in RealVideo Listen to the Event in RealAudio (Audio Only) Americans spend far more per capita than other nations on medical care. Defenders of America's health sector, such as Rudy Giuliani, claim it delivers superior health outcomes, such as longer cancer survival rates. Detractors claim that other nations systems' deliver equal or better health outcomes such as longer life expectancy and better infant mortality rates. Who is correct? Our speakers will look at what the evidence says about different health care sectors' contributions to population health, and the implications for health care reform.
