Obama Defies Logic In His Identification Of Logic Defiance

In his meandering press conference today, "the only President of the United States" insists that opponents of socialized medicine who claim the "public option" will render private insurers unable to compete "defy logic" with their argument.  The dwindling of private insurance in competition with federally subsidized insurance, Obama maintains, must instead give the lie to the premise that insurance companies are even attempting to provide service at competitive prices.

It seems self-evident, but apparently it demands note, that the inevitability of the market dominance of a subsidized alternative is wholly logical and not at all at odds with the presumption that robust competition already exists in the private marketplace.
