Healthcare debate

Republicans’ Health Care Disaster & Self-Inflicted Wounds, National Review
It was not the job of the press, of course, to help pass a bill. It was its job, however, to inform the public, and it failed. Thanks to it, the main thing that Americans heard about Republican legislation is that it would “take away” health insurance from millions of people. Almost none of them heard that most of those millions would voluntarily drop their insurance as soon as the government gave them the chance to do it without paying a fine. But Republicans themselves deserve some blame for their lousy media coverage, which they rarely challenged and never effectively did.
