Best of the Web Today: (Almost) Everyone Loses - WSJ.com

Best of the Web Today: (Almost) Everyone Loses - WSJ.com: "Some no doubt do, and lacked insurance because a pre-existing condition made them uninsurable in the pre-ObamaCare regime. But some lack insurance because they don't want it, don't feel they need it, are completely indifferent, or think it costs too much. What does ObamaCare do for them?

"To" them is more like it. It jacks up their premiums to pay for all the mandated coverages--especially if they're young and healthy and thus least likely to think they need insurance to begin with. It then tells them that they must buy insurance, whether they want it or not. Imagine a law ordering everyone to buy a bicycle, or a periodic ration of meat. Even if the prices were deeply discounted, it would still be an unmitigated burden on noncyclists or vegetarians."
