That said, this one phrase in colin's link is very troublesome, and I want to see the part she is referencing:
"It's one thing to require that people getting government assistance tolerate managed care, but the legislation limits you to a managed-care plan even if you and your employer are footing the bill (Senate bill, p. 57-58). The goal is to reduce everyone's consumption of health care and to ensure that people have the same health-care experience, regardless of ability to pay."
If so, I find that extremely troubling.
