    The links to the review of “Why Not Better and Cheaper” got screwed up….maybe you guys could re-post it.

    This important topic was brilliantly covered by economist John Cochrane in a 2012 piece called “After the ACA.”

    His basic point was that falling prices came from one thing — intense outside competition.

    The post office did not invent Fed Ex. The major airlines did not invent Southwest Air. Kodak did not invent iphones.

    When inventions did occur, plenty of workers in the old industries lost their jobs, and/or their pensions.

For many years, our health care blog was the only free enterprise health policy blog on the internet. Then, when the NCPA closed its doors, the health blog stopped as well.

During this five-year hiatus no one else has come forward to claim the space. So, my colleagues and I have decided to restart the blog in connection with the Goodman Institute. We invite you and others to use this forum to share your views.

John C. Goodman,
