Glenn Kessler, a Washington Post Fact Checker, attempts to make sense of President Obama's promise that "if you like your plan, then you can keep it." Kessler concludes that the Obama Administration cannot simply blame the insurance companies for not grandfathering insurance plans because the reason such plans are not grandfathered is due to the fact that the cutoff date to do so began 3.5 years before Obamacare was fully implemented. Thus, the problem was how the law was written, not that insurance companies were trying to deliberately find ways to limit consumers on grandfathered plans because it did not serve the company's best interest. On the surface this is a logical argument to make and worth looking into. However, Kessler fails to dig deep into the actions of the insurance companies and he draws the wrong conclusion from the evidence that he lays out to make his case against the Obama Administration.
Too often political ideologies are based on assumptions and not rooted in empirical fact or logical analysis. This blog will critique the ideologies of conservatism and libertarianism using philosophical, historical, and scientific ideas, while fleshing out why progressivism is an acceptable alternative. The main area of concern will be the comparison of the U.S. Founding period and current policy of economics, religion, and regulation of personal behavior.
