Kevin Williamson at National Review Online writes about HHS Secretary Kathleen Sibelius' efforts to implement price controls on insurance premiums. Despite the fact that ObamaCare will impose a series of costly mandates on insurers but Sibelius will cap premium increases. These factors will drive insurers out of the marketplace, creating fewer consumers choices, leading to scarcity and eventually, in the absence of market alternatives, a public option (as the only option).
