NPR Planet Money

I'm a huge fan of NPR Planet Money in general, and right now they're in the middle of doing some serious coverage about healthcare reform. In a recent podcast they interviewed Emily Oster, an economist who looks at incentives in healthcare and health behavior. At right is a TED talk featuring Oster, it's quite good.

I really enjoyed her thoughts on what was really driving behavior change regarding HIV/AIDS - not health campaigns, but global trade and economic development. Definitely an interesting look at health promotion, take a listen/look.
