The fact that you can lay out different ideas, and have more of those ideas be to the left of Obamacare than to the right (to the extent claiming either makes a coherent and useful claim), doesn't mean Obamacare is "right of center. My reaction was similar. I noticed immediately that there was theoretical space between ObamaCare and post-tax direct-market retail. But, then, no one has proposed anything in that space. So, why not? Perhaps because there's no advocate for it. Or perhaps because that space doesn't offer a coherent alternative. The fact that Heritage once supported it, doesn't make it "the conservative alternative" The other language used was "market-based alternative." I think it's fair to say that any market-based version of a function commonly performed by government is conservative.
