Reporter: GOP Health-Care Bill Is Better Than You Think

Erica Grieder at The Week finds “a lot to like” in the Senate health-care bill, which basically preserves “the most worthy features” of ObamaCare “while addressing some of its key flaws.” Indeed, it’s “obviously more thoughtful than the House’s version, and not nearly as malign as many Democrats have summarily declared it to be.” Yes, the bill has “sweeping implications” — but so did ObamaCare, which has left millions “with higher premiums and deductibles . . . when Democrats promised their plan would deliver precisely the opposite.” As for the Senate bill, “if you want to remove some bureaucratic hurdles and government largesse from the health-care market . . . then some people will lose coverage and others will see an increase in their out-of-pocket costs. That’s how markets work, even if the architects of ObamaCare refused to believe it.”
