'Washington knows best' - NYPOST.com: "'Washington knows best' is in full swing: President Obama hasn't invited any governors to tomorrow's health-reform summit -- even though states have overseen health insurance for six decades.
Indeed, states' experience ought to guide any bid to reform the system -- some, for example, are making stunning progress in keeping down costs.
Of course, the president and his allies in Congress are eager to exploit some state-level problems -- such as some recent bad news from California.
Health insurer Anthem announced that on March 1, premiums would rise 39 percent, a clear hardship for some Californians. Why? Anthem said the recession caused healthy people to drop coverage, leaving sicker people in the insurance pool; it also blamed a recent change in California law forcing it to sell some kinds of coverage below cost."
