The least surprising thing ever. Since ObamaCare was never anything except a Trojan horse for a public option. So now we're moving to Stage 2 as ObamaCare becomes unviable but Democrats block any efforts at free market reforms taking us on the road to...
Obama is calling on Congress to add a “public option” to ObamaCare to improve his signature health law.
The pitch from Obama comes after he abandoned pursuit of a government-run insurance plan to compete with private insurers during the long legislative battle over healthcare because of opposition from some Democrats in Congress.
“Public programs like Medicare often deliver care more cost-effectively by curtailing administrative overhead and securing better prices from providers,” Obama writes in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Yes, because if there's anything Medicare is known for it's cost-effectiveness. And ObamaCare wouldn't be Medicare. It would be Medicaid on steroids.
The next stage will be pushing what Democrats euphemistically call "Medicare for All". This is where Obama's argument is predictably going. But I like how Obama calls adding a public option to ObamaCare an "improvement". If ObamaCare weren't a disaster that didn't work as it was supposed to, what would be the reason for this improvement?
