Coerced choices are just as insidious as forced ones. All the more so when you consider all of the research and effort into the coercion. This isn't even getting into "nanny state" policies. It is in the best interest of everyone to not go down a lot of these "free market" directions. Folks like to bitch about regulations, but everyone wants to have safe water. This is not much different. For another very real and recent example, consider the peril of allowing the free market to ignore earthquake building codes.
