Neil Cavuto hits Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) with the question that every host should ask Congressional supporters of ObamaCare, and Nadler fumbles it. Members of Congress get one of those “gold plated” health insurance plans that many in Congress want to tax to fund health-care reform. Cavuto wonders whether Nadler — who once claimed that Congress would provide that level of coverage to all Americans through ObamaCare — would trade his existing coverage for what Nadler proposes to impose on the rest of us. Nadler tries ducking but winds up with egg on his face:

Nadler’s wife has an even better plan than Congress, according to Nadler, so he doesn’t need the current gold-plated coverage he receives. Well, okay, but would Nadler give up his wife’s coverage to adopt ObamaCare? After all, Nadler and his allies keep insisting that it will provide better coverage for less cost than other plans, which is why they’re insisting on keeping the public plan as part of the final bill, which will result in forcing insurers out of the industry. If so, why won’t Nadler switch to it?

I think we all know the answer to that question. Nadler and the people crafting this bill like choice for themselves, but don’t want the rest of America to have the same options.
