“Many people roll their eyes at ‘those idiots in Washington!’ as if these obvious outcomes are somehow a surprise. No, the people in Washington have trained economists on their staffs. They understand incentives, even though their rhetoric suggests that they don’t.

This is part of the plan, as some glib proponents of ObamaCare have let slip.”
