Powerful Democrats who helped write and pass Obamacare subjected the new law’s chief administrator to withering criticism at a Senate hearing yesterday. Gary Cohen, the director of the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight, testified before the Senate Finance Committee, and the Democrats on the committee—from its Chairman Max Baucus to Senators Ron Wyden, Bill Nelson, and Maria Cantwell—tore into him.
The about-face of these Democrats is a phenomenon worth pausing over. Many
formerly supportive constituencies have grown wary of Obamacare in recent weeks as we’ve learned more about
the effects it will have on the health care system. But these Senators’ 180-degree turns are something more severe.
