science podcast. The host of the podcast is facilitating their debate over health insurance. The following dialogue represents a portion of the transcript

Valerie: I disagree. I think government funding of health insurance is useful to ensure basic fairness.
The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to
differences in values.
differences in scientific judgments
differences between perception versus reality.

Employers should not be restricted from outsourcing work to foreign nations.
