Elite Know Better Than Everyone Else, Individually or Together. Yikes!

[From article]
It would be as if the government took it upon itself to tell us whom to marry. Only someone who went to Harvard would think central planners should do that. 

The smart people in the Soviet Union tried to plan the nation's agriculture, and the result was 50 years of "bad weather." And they were dealing with inert objects -- land, seeds and crops. 

They didn't have to consider whether the fertilizer was a teetotaler who didn't anticipate needing substance abuse therapy or a priest who preferred to skimp on marital counseling insurance. 

Our central planners think they can direct something infinitely more complex than farmland: human beings and their individual health needs. Under Obamacare, the pushy and the connected win. Everyone else loses.
