This is what Net Neutrality was trying to avoid.
I don't disagree with that premise, and I'll admit I'm only vaguely familiar with the issue in question. However, I also don't disagree with the idea of covering pre-existing conditions (with some considerations, of course) regarding healthcare, but that does not mean that ObamaCare was a good thing.

I think the Act could have been simplified to prevent the "problem" while avoiding the more intrusive government impositions.
