Karl Rove: The Bad News About ObamaCare Keeps Piling Up - WSJ.com:
In his brilliant exposition of why sweeping policy changes often have unintended consequences, the late sociologist Robert K. Merton wrote that leaders get things wrong when their 'paramount concern with the foreseen immediate consequences excludes the consideration of further or other consequences' of their proposals. This leads policy makers to assert things that are false, wishing them to be true.
Which brings us to President Obama's many claims about his health-care reform. Take his oft-expressed statement that if you like the coverage you have, you can keep it. That sounds good—but perverse incentives in his new law will cause most Americans to lose their existing insurance."
