no group of unelected Obama Administration bureaucrats can think their way through the millions and millions of decisions that millions and millions of individuals make daily about their own health care – individuals acting in their own economic interest, and ultimately in the best interest of their own health. If the government controlled toasters – claiming toast to be a right of all Americans – the same thing would happen.
