Every U.S. citizen can have FREE healthcare paid for by taxes. No more premiums. No more deductibles. No more insurance companies. Renown economist Gerald Friedman explains why the United States healthcare system should switch to a tax-based Single-Payer system.

The U.S. is the only developed country without free universal public healthcare. Prof. Gerald Friedman shows how our current insurance-based healthcare and ObamaCare is more expensive, inadequate, and unsustainable.

Gerald Friedman is an economist and professor at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. 

This lecture is based on the study by Gerald Friedman entitled Financing the Maryland Health Security Act (MHSA).  The MHSA is a single-payer bill that was initially proposed to the MD legislature in 2012.  The lecture took place in Baltimore, MD on February 28, 2012.  The video was produced and edited by Brent Bederka for Zedora. For video production inquiries or contact info, please visit www.zedora.com.
