“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. Over the coming years, as the delivery of US healthcare suffers and citizens become justifiably outraged, they will be led to demand greater and greater government involvement to thwart the ‘greedy’ insurance companies and ‘overpriced’ hospitals. This is part of the plan, as some glib proponents of ObamaCare have let slip.”
