Yes, IC, I've read The Road to Serfdom. An iconic book that any conservative should be familiar with.
But let's not exaggerate - government regulation of the private insurance industry neither amounts to "central planning" nor the abrogation of "free markets". Indeed, sound government regulation can set the conditions for free markets to flourish, by establishing a playing field that allows competition to proceed fairly, and instills confidence by consumers.
Like everything else, there is bad regulation and good regulation. The trick is knowing the difference, and not just waving about asinine slogans concerning "tyranny". We aren't living under King George; our laws are the result of the rules set in place by the Constitution for our democratic representative republic.
(And no, IC, contrary to CL's insinuation, you're not on my "shitlist". I respect your positive contributions to this board.)
