supply and that you can make informed choices of the best you know for and again this is sort of the the ideal theory you make you know the best plan high quality plan at a reasonable cost and that's then you have to assume that consumers have all that information which i think the whole thing falls apart because exactly don't have that information or they don't need it's a little bit flawed yeah or even if they had the information they wouldn't understand it

We have the right to. what is it right to what is health and health and wellbeing and happiness or whatever, or the right, but we don't have a technical right to healthcare.
