Most people consider healthcare to be a serious problem in the US, with medical debt contributing to an estimated 62% of all individual bankruptcies according to the American Bankruptcy Institute. Many implore the government to do something about the cost - but what can they do, and more importantly - will it help, or hurt? These gentlemen both know a thing or two about healthcare, and they're going to duke it out on the debate stage on July 16th to get to the bottom of it.

Here's one that's sure to turn some heads - Yale's Jacob Hacker vs. successful businessman and healthcare entrepreneur, David Goldhill, on the topic of government-funded health insurance. Tickets are still half off for this debate, so get 'em while they're hot! Look forward to seeing you there!
