By contrast, it is vastly more expensive, uncertain, corrosive to choice and destructive to freedom to embark on redistribution via a vast machinery of state planning and regulation. 

It's all about smothering the health care sector with a suffocating blanket of regulation, mandates, fines, penalties, and fear.  The goal is to maximize Government control, and this the time-tested way to accomplish that. "Corrosive to choice and destructive to freedom" are features to the designers of ObamaCare, not bugs.

Health care "reform" is just one more means to crush the remaining remnants of civil society under the boot heel of Government.  The goal is to leave nothing -- no buffer or recourse of any kind -- between the individual person and the direct application of Government power, as wielded by the vast machinery of the state.

Get crosswise with a Government bureaucrat and, even if later declared blameless and innocent, you will have been destroyed by the process -- you, your family, your business, your savings, your good name, your health, all of it, everything.
