A long time ago, Dr. Wehby — the Republican Senate candidate in Oregon — was being described by conservatives as a “policy wonk” who was particularly suited to making our case on health care. It has not turned out that way. She released a health-care plan that didn’t make any sense, perhaps because — it was later discovered — it was cut and pasted from a poll, and people like things that aren’t compatible with each other.

Now Wehby has another health-care plan. This time she has cut and pasted it from Jason Conger, the candidate she defeated in the primary, in part by arguing that she was more credible than him on health care.

The good news is that the Conger plan is much more sensible than the poll-based one she adopted earlier, and as far as I can see does not have elements that would cause the health-insurance system to self-destruct.
