Then, earlier this week, a federal judge ruled unconstitutional the linchpin of the law -- the mandate that people buy health insurance or pay a penalty. It was the second ruling in about six weeks to go against the White House on this point. This time around the judge struck down not just that one provision, but the entire law. It was a stunning repudiation of President Obama's overreach and a stirring victory for individual liberty.

No doubt our health care system isn't as functional or cheap as it could be, but the same statists who have pushed the health care markets away from being responsive to consumer needs, are using that outcome to justify further coercion in the provision of health care. I don't believe that they have the faintest notion of how to create a system that will do what they say they want it to do. Humans are not that smart.
