the problem is, do you want government control over the system or do you want the private sector bringing the free market back into this? and that s been the problem. if you want to take a look at the problem with health care is we separate the consumer of the product to the payment of the product. we have taken the free market out of health care and put the government in control. and the reason obama care is not particularly popular is the american people don t trust government to run it. hold on. we re going to get a blood pressure cuff for you. these comments are not good for my health. i will say that, because my blood pressure goes up. first of all, let s be clear. the individual mandate is to get people into a private market to purchase insurance through private plans to go to private doctors and private hospitals. it was decidedly market based. that s the first point. the second point is, the american public loves to have people be able, no matter what their pre-existing c
