Immediately after the midterms House Democrats signaled they would investigate how the Trump administration "Sabotaged" the Affordable Care Act.
The House may want to change its focus and investigate how the Trump administration is helping to lower health-care costs.
In September, President Trump's Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar said, "The President who was supposedly trying to sabotage the Affordable Care Act has proven better at managing it than the President who wrote the law."
Even as Secretary Azar is arguing the president is making the law work better than his predecessor, President Trump continues to declare the law to be effectively dead. This rhetorical montage from President Trump compiled by Robert Pear at the New York Times illustrates this alleged contradiction.
At its inception the Affordable Care Act represented an internal compromise within one political party - the Democrats - that was, and still is, divided over how aggressively to push for single-payer health care.
Democrats are angry not because Trump has sabotaged the Affordable Care Act, but because he has sabotaged what Ezra Klein once described as the left's "Sneaky strategy" to implement single-payer health care incrementally.
Democrats may be surprised by what they learn if they study how empowering consumers with real choice and buying power can lower costs.
