696 Michael Cannon – New Mexico’s Medical Provider Shortage

Michael Cannon, director of health policy studies for the libertarian Cato Institute was in Albuquerque for some talks to RGF and Federalist Society. He sat down with Paul to discuss the medical provider shortage in New Mexico and broader issues in healthcare. Michael especially takes on the issue of Medicaid which is a joint federal/state program to (supposedly) provide Medicaid for the poor and how this program’s perverse incentives drive health care costs upward, doctors out of business, and are driving America into a debt crisis.
