Here’s a poor, unsuccessful letter I sent to the editor of the Los Angeles Times:
Three and a half million Californians may become eligible for subsidized private health insurance in 2014 under ObamaCare [“3.5 million Californians would be eligible for healthcare tax credits, study finds,” October 6], but those subsidies will not “slash the cost” of their health insurance. As ObamaCare causes health insurance premiums to rise by as much as 30 percent, the private‐insurance subsidies will shift those costs to taxpayers. A bipartisan majority of Americans opposes ObamaCare in part because such shell games increase costs rather than reduce them.
