Stossel argues for school choice over government schools
John Stossel contends that private schools and market competition yield better outcomes than government schools. He cites Jay Greene's findings on racial composition and lunchroom seating, critiques rising spending with stagnant test scores, and argues for freeing parents to choose education without government control. He labels supporters of universal government schooling as failing to see market benefits.

Dr Komaroff explains how nuclear stress tests show which heart muscle areas lack blood.
