Our Health Care Mess: David Goldhill Understands the Economics

  • By Bill Conerly
  • In Public Policy
  • 2 comments

I'm trying to avoid the health care issue, but it's getting harder and harder.  Just getting good, clear information and insights is tough.  But the Atlantic (I think they've dropped the Monthly from their name) has a dynamite article by David Goldhill.

The title of the article is stupid, so much so that Mrs. Businomics (an M.D.) tossed the magazine aside.  However, that's a mistake, because Goldhill really understands health care economics, and he writes in a clear, lucid manner.

Goldhill's policy prescription is jolting, but probably as good as we can accept, given that our society does not want to let people who make bad choices die.  More importantly, Goldhill explains how the common health care reform proposals will not work at all.

So who is this guy?  He's apparently CEO of a television company, the Game Show Network, according to Barron's.  And his article is widely quoted in the blogosphere.

If you are only going to read one article on health care, read this one.

    It is always good to learn from the flaws and thus correcting it , is the most essential part.

We asked Bill Conerly to look at one of the major factors limiting the growth of our business. He pulled together data from a wide range of sources, as well as his own extensive business knowledge, to give us an insight into when conditions would improve and how we could be ready to capitalize on better times. He did so in a straight forward, easy to understand manner. A year later it was clear that things had evolved just as he had forecast. Ever since then he’s been my go-to guy on how the e…

As you know, it can be difficult to find economists who provide good substantive information who are so entertaining and engaging. I received many enthusiastic comments from members and others in attendance. I was very pleased with Dr. Conerly and have recommended him to NCSTAE, our national organization.

Dr. Bill Conerly opened our Ace Hardware Platinum Retailer Conference by helping our independent small business owners understand the current state of the economy in a straight forward and humorous manner that connected very well with the retailers I spoke with.

The ratings you received from our banker evaluations were among the highest I’ve seen, which matched my impressions exactly. Your presentation style is quite engaging, you bring interesting and valuable content, and our ability to interact in a stimulating way during “Q&A” sessions makes you a valuable addition to any meeting agenda. As a bonus, you are a genuinely enjoyable participant in conference activities beyond your presentation.
