Quote	"Mr. Obama is right that sticking with the status quo is a bad alternative, but he isn't leveling about the consequences of change. Take Mr. Obama's red pill-blue pill example. What if the pricey blue pill is actually better than the cheaper red one? What if it's better but just a little bit? What happens when a yellow pill comes along, costing twice as much as the blue? What happens if there's a new procedure that cures the ailment, but at an even bigger cost?"
