How the media makes Cruz the issue instead of ObamaCare's implementation

Much as the discussion of the NSA domestic surveillance program shifted to a binary choice about personality (“what do you think of Edward Snowden?”) the media is turning the discussion of Obamacare into a up-or-down choice on what you think of Ted Cruz.

But what one thinks of Ted Cruz is, in the grand scheme of things, a rather minor matter compared to the program’s impact on full-time employment, its malfunctioning software, the program’s failure to ensure coverage for 500,000 children, and the way lower-income families that have good insurance plans will be forced to pay much more for them.

Of course, to discuss those subjects, you have to know something about how Obamacare is being implemented and the ensuing problems. To fume and scoff and sneer and mock Ted Cruz… you don’t really need to know that much.
