so what's really great about david goldhill's writing, and david's book, is that he not only talks about the real people in our system who are affected, not just the uninjured, but every american who interacts with her health care system and, in a way that makes us understand how much better our system could be. but he critiques it from a free market point of view. he appreciates that are so me things about our health care system that could be better, precisely because it doesn't skew to market principles. one of the great clichÉs in health care policy debate is that health care is different, that health care is somehow immune from laws of economics that affect every other aspect of how we live. and what david has done in his book is a great service in that regard and explaining how, in fact, health care is much like other sectors of the economy. david quillen up in new york outside of new york city and nassau county. his father was a psychiatrist. he went to harvard college and then got a masters at nyu. he then became an investment banker doing mortgage finance at morgan stanley lehman
