Myths cloud our judgment about the true strengths and weaknesses of American health care. That’s a key point Sally Pipes made with the publication of her new book The Top Ten Myths of American Health Care.

Pipes, president and CEO of the Pacific Research Institute, addressed some of those myths during her presentation today to the John Locke Foundation’s Shaftesbury Society.

Pipes also described some of the problems she sees with President Obama’s health care proposals, including an emphasis on something called “comparative effectiveness research.” Click play below to hear her comments about that topic.
