I’m on MSNBC 9am EST
I’m supposed to be on Dyland Ratigan‘s MSNBC show at 9am EST this morning, talking about medical reform.
While I think I have a solid grasp of the long-term basics, I feel very conscious of all the things I don’t know about who exactly has just said what about which proposals that may or may not have what features depending on who makes what deals. I suspect the fear of looking stupid on all those ephemeral details detracts most pundits from taking the time to really understand the fundamentals.
Added: Here is one video. I was on twice before then, but can’t find those yet.

This is a blog on why we believe and do what we do, why we pretend otherwise, how we might do better, and what our descendants might do, if they don't all die.
Dyland, why do you have guest? Your sentences and questions are soooo long your appear to turn blue in the face. Please, a little less of you and a little more of your guest.
You're entirely missing the point.
The reason healthcare is expensive is that government licensing requirements for doctors artificially reduce the supply of doctors, raising the price. It's silly to talk about the health care problem without talking about the damaging effect of the AMA licensing cartel.
How did you even get invited on a mainstream media program? I'm considering trying that to promote my blog.
