The President Tries to Change His Health-Care Tune [James C. Capretta]


At his press conference today, President Obama scrambled to “clarify” his promise to Americans on health care. It won’t work.
Quote:
The problem for President Obama is that he and his allies want to pass an untested, government-heavy program — but without saying so.
Quote:
The president’s “clarification” seems highly unlikely to be the final word on this. For starters, it doesn’t matter much to the voting public who pulls the trigger. They don’t want today’s stable, job-based coverage turned upside by “reform.” When they hear that tens of millions of people will get moved out of employer plans and into the “government option,” they will wonder if they themselves will have to switch insurance — and most don’t want to. The president’s comments today aren’t likely to put their fears to rest.
It is a good article. Read it.
