Michael Canon from the Cato Institute and I had a disagreement about “never events” a few months ago. On those, via private e-mails between us, we agreed to disagree.

Relaxing for an hour or so, I perused several blogs and clicked over the Cato Health Blog site. There I found an article by Mr. Canon that dropped my jaw. Literally.

“Coordinated Care Requires Free Markets.” Free market competition between doctors and between hospitals. Let consumers control the money involving their health care (i.e. “make consumers responsible”). Lessen state licensing regulatory hurdles.

Sounds vaguely … familiar.

Well put, Mr. Canon. Well put.
