Price and Mulligan Discuss Profit in Healthcare and Its Critics

INTERVIEW ON THE PRICE OF BUSINESS SHOW, MEDIA PARTNER OF THIS SITE.

Recently Kevin Price, Host of the nationally syndicated Price of Business Show, interviewed Casey Mulligan, Former Chief Economist of the White House Council of Economic Advisers (2018-19).

The progressive caucus — led by “The Squad” — in Congress has been trying to eliminate private enterprise from healthcare. But private American companies are the ones leading us out of the pandemic with their fast vaccine manufacturing.

Dr. Casey B. Mulligan is the former Chief Economist of the White House Council of Economic Advisers. He is a professor of economics at the University of Chicago.

According to the NY Times, “Mulligan is affiliated with a number of professional organizations, including the National Bureau of Economic Research, the George J. Stigler Center for the Study of the Economy and the State, and the Population Research Center. He is also the recipient of numerous awards and fellowships, including those from the National Science Foundation, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the Smith- Richardson Foundation, and the John M. Olin Foundation.

Recently Bethany Schenk of Web Benefits Design weighed in on a related topic — price transparency — as a regular on the Price of Business show.

“Professor Mulligan received his Ph.D. in economics from the University of Chicago in 1993. He has also served as a visiting professor teaching public economics at Harvard University, Clemson University, and Irving B. Harris Graduate School of Public Policy Studies at the University of Chicago.”
