Timothy Stoltzfus Jost on Health Care Reform

A Washington Post article on health insurance co-ops this weekend quotes Timothy Stoltzfus Jost, author of Health Care at Risk: A Critique of the Consumer-Driven Movement. Jost says, "If we want to have co-ops in addition to the public plan and in addition to private insurance, that's great, let's see if it works." But if co-ops are the only alternative to private insurance, "then essentially what we have will be private insurance." Jost was also recently featured in a Forbes article about his first-hand experience with the German health care system, and he has been writing regular commentaries on health care reform for the Roanoke Times.
