Quick ? for Mr. Trump based on his speech

01 Mar 2017

Mr. Trump rightly noted that any healthcare reform, to be effective:

it must be the plan they want, not the plan forced on them by the Government.

I like this principle.  But this leads to a natural follow-on question.  If it is good for Americans to be able to buy the health care plan they want, not what the government wants for them (and their cronies), why not allow Americans to buy whatever goods and services they want from whomever they want, not from whom the government wants to make them buy them from?  Mr. Trump laid out a powerful principle for free trade in health care, but there is no logical reason why it should stop with health care.

Will Mr. Trump allow Americans (in both their roles as consumers and producers) to be free or not?
