On a mid term and long term basis, the regulation of price and cost in a narrow service offering on a federal regulated exchange ultimately slows innovation, curtails supply, and drives entrepreneurs out of the healthcare field.

They voted for affordable care. What they got is a law touting affordable INSURANCE. And it doesn’t even give that. And if they buy the expensive insurance, they’ll have to get sick and run up a bill equal to the deductible before they see just how Unaffordable it really is.

There will probably be a lot of “selective enforcement”.
Right.

Without a doubt.

By jove I think he's got it!
You mean that the government paying for “health care for all” with a medical device tax that raises the cost of the health care government is paying for won’t lower costs by $2500 per person? Who would have guessed?
It makes perfect sense when you understand its aim is to destroy the private economy.
