Look, I understand the Republicans' reaction to President Obama's health care fix:
Doesn't every conservative pretty much think every single thing Obama proposes is unworkable? @jonathanchait @mattyglesias

But where was all this insurance industry outrage when the Republicans first proposed reinstating canceled plans? '
Is being pro-GOP so knee-jerk for industry that that didn't inspire howls of outrage? If Obama had stood his ground, and the GOP had demagogued this until even the Senate passed it by veto-proof majorities, were the insurance companies going to whine this way? Or is this just a terrible idea, according to the industry, when a Democrat does it?
I'm confused.
