Ralph Weber was a great help in understanding and discussing insurance options. The members of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, and particularly Dr. Jane Orient, have helped me to appreciate the meaning of individual liberty and the importance of limited government, free markets, and medical ethics. And of course I thank my sons, Mason and Nathan, for their enlightening Socratic discourse.
