WE ALL DO: Clinton faces new challenges on ObamaCare.

Both parties agree that ObamaCare has problems. Premiums are rising sharply, and the pool of enrollees is smaller and sicker than expected.
But the agreement mostly ends there. Republicans say the law should be repealed, a position echoed by their presidential nominee, Donald Trump.

Should Clinton win the White House, as polls indicate, most if not all of her ideas for changing ObamaCare would have virtually no chance of passing Congress, so long as Republicans control the House and/or Senate.

Clinton is calling for adding a public insurance option to increase competition with private carriers, but Republicans and some Democrats fiercely oppose that idea.

This idea that the public option would “increase competition” is a ruse. Introducing a government insurer legally entitled to sell at a loss would instead have the effect of driving private insurers out of the market — which of course is the point of the ruse.
