Joe Biden is pretending to defend Obamacare while implicitly admitting it has failed to live up to its promises.
Yesterday, the former vice president debuted a new health care plan, which would expand subsidies in the program while creating a new government-run health insurance plan-a "Public option"-that would be available inside the exchanges.
Biden's plan is notable mostly for its explicit rejection of Medicare for All, the single-payer plan proposed by Sen. Bernie Sanders and backed by rival candidates such as Sens.
In a video touting his plan, Biden said he was proud of his work on the health care law, calling it a success, and warning.
Biden's new plan essentially makes this admission anyway.
Obamacare was supposed to provide coverage to those who don't have it and lower the price of health care, but for all intents and purposes, that is the same promise that Biden is now making about his plan.
Biden is pitching an expensive overhaul of Obamacare on the promise that it would do what Obamacare was supposed to have already done.
