This naivete is almost sweet:
But [restaurant owner Bill] Chait was a little surprised that anyone affluent enough to pay for entrees that range from $18 for butternut squash agnolotti to $75 for prime dry-aged cote de boeuf would gripe about paying a tiny fee[*] so the person washing the tricolore salad can have a modest healthcare plan.
He shouldn’t be. I’ve noticed that far too many supporters of Obamacare – particularly the rich ones – get awful huffy when it’s their money that gets involved.
