Since the passage of the Affordable Care Act, health care in America has not improved in the ways we were promised. In fact, inequalities in care have grown, and for many people health coverage is worse. But the errors can still be reversed. John C. Goodman's new book, Priceless: Curing the Health Care Crisis, maps out a better way, one that frees patients, doctors, and employers from the regulatory traps and perverse incentives that hold everybody back.

The right has lost its bearings and is floundering, he says, and needs the energy of the Reagan/Thatcher years with ideas centering around prosperity for all, free enterprise, and school choice.
