The Mises Institute put together this reading and viewing list of articles and lectures they have done on the subject of the government’s interference in the market for health services. This is not a subject I write about very often so this should cover the topic nicely. My only comment: there is not one government run or controlled health care system that is not running out of money and rationing health care. Another good source is the Cato Institute.
