He joins co-host Chase Holden this week on Speed Street to discuss the challenges that street courses like Detroit and Toronto bring to the Juncos Hollinger Racing team.

A flood of government regulations, mandates, and subsidies has not solved the United States' health care problems—they are the problem. They have driven the average employer-plan family premium to nearly $26,000—and then tossed families out of their health insurance when employees leave their jobs. Even as Obamacare creates an insurance shortage, it has nevertheless grown so unaffordable that enrollees earning $200,000 per year get $12,000 in subsidies. Growing federal debt threatens Medicare and Medicaid patients' access to necessary care.Reforms circulating on Capitol Hill are not up to the challenge. Some propose more regulations, mandates, and subsidies. Yet if that approach worked, it would have already. Even reforms that are directionally correct fall far short of what is necessary to restore individual rights and make health care more universal.At this two-panel forum, leading health policy scholars will offer meaningful and potentially bipartisan reforms that would bring relief to struggling patients, workers, and taxpayers.The second panel, “Health Reforms That Meet the Need” (10:45 a.m.–12:15 p.m.), will feature Brian Blase, Michael Cannon, and David Hyman. Panelists will present reforms—including spending cuts—that would address the nation's health care challenges in a meaningful way. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
