So, stated simply, my point was this;

People complain that this so-called "ObamaCare" is big brother, big government taking away choices and telling them how to live their lives. Do they not?

To my mind, what Whell described, (And what I see unfolding before me.) is the same thing. Only instead of "big government", it's "big business" scrutinizing my life, telling me how to live it, and using financial pressure to force me into compliance. If it's Bill Clinton jacking up tobacco taxes to disuade me from smoking, or Anthem jacking up my premuims to disuade me from smoking, to my mind there is little to no difference. (BTW, I don't smoke, just used it for an example.).

Big Government-Big Business, same-same.

Not quite, at least I get one vote on government.
