A fair and balanced source, no doubt. Partially funded by the insurance industry?

If there's one thing people should always do in contentious issues like this is to check the sources of articles for bias and if there are actual sources for statistics. That article you posted had no sources at all.

This is another version of the article with no sources except the author's own book. Very suspect scholarship and journalism. I can't find the March 29 version mentioned in the Hoover article.

Here is the 29 March version of the article. This one has sources.
