The Exceptional Leadership of the California Congressional Delegation

The democrats on the California congressional delegation have issued a joint letter to the Senate regarding a provision in the Senate health care bill which would increase competitive forces in the health insurance markets. They make the case that the bill, which would allow consumers to buy insurance across state lines, is a bad thing. What nonsense.

But then you go on to read their real justification - keeping state regulation and the complex system which increases costs.

After reading their letter in full it kind of makes you wonder whether their real intent is to improve the healthcare system or to increase the role of government in our lives. Actually, knowing what I do about the California delegation, it does not make me wonder it simply confirms something I already understood.
