Robert Samuelson on the Public Option. "The promise of the public plan is a mirage. Its political brilliance is to use free-market rhetoric (more 'choice' and 'competition') to expand government power."
Unlearning the Lessons of State Health Reforms. "Despite these state-level failures, President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats are pushing forward a slate of similar reforms.

Instead, they've identified what doesn't—and decided to do it again."
