David Goldhill is the president and CEO of the Game Show Network.[1] Prior to this position, he was the president of the Universal Television Group.[2]
David Goldhill's article in The Atlantic was the cover story for its September 2009 issue.[3] In it, he argues that the result of dysfunction in the health care sector in the United States is because markets in the health care sector are not being allowed to function properly. He advocates mandatory accounts into which people would pay a minimum percentage of their income every year. People would receive government coverage for truly catastrophic, unforeseen medical emergencies and procedures, such as those costing more than $50,000. Foreseeable medical procedures, such as pregnancy and end-of-life care, would be paid for from the individual savings accounts.
Despite being a Democrat, his article received praise from conservative news outlet The Weekly Standard and the libertarian think-tank the Cato Institute.[4][5]
