Holman Jenkins is in top form in this WSJ column today. He spoofs the address Obama plans to give tonight, demonstrating that the troubles in the health insurance market are due to bipartisan tampering with it that Republicans and Democrats are equally responsible for.
Here’s one great (imaginary) line: “So the purpose of our public option is not to change any of this but merely to scoop up the growing number of Americans who won’t be able to get private coverage because we’ve made private coverage so expensive and uneconomic.”
Hey, Obama — is it lying to point out that it’s government regulation that has made such a mess of the insurance market?
