Washington uses magical thinking... and patients suffer

Politicians think if they just believe hard enough, people will magically get health care

In 2010, Congress and the White House just “knew” that getting more people insured was a good thing, no matter how they did it. So, they gave away free insurance by Medicaid expansion and by federal subsidies in the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).

Democrats magically believed that they could insure more people, pay the doctors less, and still give the people the care they needed when they needed it.

Washington magically “knew” that this would work out. They think by believing hard enough, the greater number of insured patients would get the care they need despite there being fewer providers of care.
