Did they get it right? The answer is obviously no, and that's inevitable. Just imagine a bill that sets out to reorganize any industry that is currently mostly market driven, such as shirts, software, groceries, or furniture. Would any bill coming from Congress that pertains to the whole of any of these be wonderful? It's impossible.

This is because the minds of politicians working together – with all their mixed motives of special-interest acquiescence, electoral fears, and general ignorance – cannot possibly replicate, much less improve upon, the brilliant mind of the market at work.

Fortunately, we don't have to deal with such bills in most markets. But the health care industry is different. It's been heavily regulated for more than a century. Obamacare went in the wrong direction, toward more rather than less government control.
