Devon Herrick PhD, a health care economist at the National Center for Policy Analysis, will be speaking to the 208 Commission on Tuesday June 19, 2007. He is a prominent advocate of market-based health care systems, and some of his recent articles include:

"New Hillary care plan contains same old ailments"
