Obamacare Insurer: Must Break Americans' 'Choice Habit'

From Philip Klein:
In a line that says a lot about where health care is heading under Obamacare, an insurance executive offering plans through the law was quoted in the New York Times on Tuesday as saying, “We have to break people away from the choice habit that everyone has.”
