I'm sorry, but those are just the facts. It has nothing to do with limiting your freedom.
Regarding second general point: If you want the state to set coverage guidelines (in other words, set a minimum coverage level), then you're advocating that the state limit your choice! Which is the opposite of what you say you're for. Surprise.
There go your freedoms once again, victims of a poor logical framework.

No your wrong. All the State would be limiting is the minimal coverage package that is allowed to be sold. Like right now there would be many optional packages within the market place. If it doesn't already exist the State or a non profit could set up a web site that provided information on the different insurance plans avaliable, to help citizens make healthy choices.
What the State wouldn't do is force its citizens to buy something they don't want. I find it strange that so many people who support assisted suicide reject folks making their own health insurance choices.
