Coverage of Coverage

Looks like nobody likes the new G.O.P. "repeal and replace" plan. Folks on the left don't like it because it doesn't do enough. Folks on the far right don't like it because it does anything. A lot of Senators and Congressfolks on both sides of the aisle are saying it'll never pass and of course, if enough think that, it won't.

Josh Marshall has a good article up about the way we should look at this plan and others that may be proposed. Basically, it comes down to this: There ain't no such thing as a plan that will cost everyone a lot less and give everyone a lot more. And it's a diversion to talk about how many people have "access" to quality health insurance. What matters is how many people actually have it. All else is smoke 'n' mirrors.
