The idea that people want “consumer choice” for health insurance was always a boondoggle. Choice for clothes, shoes, food? Sure! Health insurance? People just want to get the care they need when they need it and not go broke. The more “choice” there is, the more of a fine-print trap it is.

Imagine if Democrats relentlessly hammered him in these moments instead of assuming nothing will ever stick to him. Imagine if we demanded that Republicans answer why the President is throwing Gatsby parties and calling football plays instead of negotiating. Nah, we should definitely fold instead.
