What is so "right-wing" about Mackey's rhetoric? Is it assumed because he is a CEO? From what I'm reading, there's nothing much "right-wing" about it.

How is allowing consumers to purchase insurance across state lines right-wing? I can make the same argument for having an abortion instead of purchasing insurance.

Equalizing tax benefits for employer and individually purchased insurance? Who argues against that?

Price transparency? Tort reform? Tax deductible donations to the uninsured? Are you sure liberals are objecting to this?

Medicare reform is a pretty general statement.

The only position that can be considered "right-wing" is repeal government mandates for types of coverage.

Like the Congressmen that hasn't read their own bills, I have a feeling most boycotters haven't read the actual article. In this authors case, he seemed to skipped the most important part.
