Health Care and Congress

The Wall Street Journal has an article here describing how member of Congress are trying to get out of using ObamaCare, since the insurance they currently have is much better.  Most of the comments draw the conclusion that the WSJ writer wants, i.e. ObamaCare sucks.

So ObamaCare isn’t as good as the health insurance Congress enjoys?  Okay, I get that.  I would like to see an article comparing ObamaCare to the medical insurance the bottom fifty percent of the country “enjoys.”

And then the real question becomes this:  why didn’t Congress pass a health care bill that would give lower income people the kind of insurance that they enjoy themselves?  I don’t think that deficiencies of ObamaCare are a result of the president wanting substandard health care for everyone.  Rather, it was the best he could do with a Congress that was happy with millions of people having no insurance at all.
