Health Care

Just wondering if there is any book here at mises that specifically focuses on the issue of public verus private health care. Maybe even a brief history of health care in the United States. I’m from Canada and I’m sick and tired of nobody (on the internet forums [make fun of my nerdiness]) believeing my first hand bad experience with public health care. I’m really just looking for a little more academic information on the American side. I’ve done a quick search and havent found a specific book.

I’m not going to pretend to be any kind of expert on this, but I read a book called “Running On Empty” that shows why entitlement programs have already bankrupted this nation. To me, it seems a logical step to assume that any more burdens placed on the public tab (such as a single payer government medical insurance plan) add to the unsustainability of this country’s finances. But that’s just me.

Good videos with Canadians and Britons here

The people behind that channel may have more material (online text, printed).

Thanks for the two replys, but maybe the lack of suggestions can give a hint to certain authors maybe to start on a book… cough Tom Woods cough… or just wishful thinking.
