Ezra Klein has [nice things to say](http://ezraklein.typepad.com/blog/2007/01/bushs_health_pl.html) about President Bush’s [proposal](https://www.cato.org/2007/01/22/a-damn-fine-health-care-proposal/) to cap the tax break for employer-sponsored health insurance — while Paul Krugman [blows a gasket](http://select.nytimes.com/2007/01/22/opinion/22krugman.html).
