OBAMACARE OPTIMISM

Mr. President, the public option for healthcare has been tried.

Despite these state-level failures, President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats are pushing forward a slate of similar reforms. Unlike most high-school science fair participants, they seem unaware that the point of doing experiments is to identify what actually works.

It’s the classic definition of liberalism: doing the same thing over and over again, each time with the expectation that the outcome will be different.
