Rationing is not getting as much as you want when you want it.
I disagree but for the sake of argument, do you really think there will be less rationing if the government gets involved?

Quote:
Failing that, their incentive is to NOT PAY for any care they can escape paying for. As a result they hire armies of assholes to give us all a hard time. We pay their salaries out of our premiums.
So we would be replacing the insurance company assholes with government assholes? Wonder which ones will cost us more?

People are afraid to change. I get that. People dont trust the government. Sure, if you refuse to pay enough for the services you want, you wont get very good services. But that doesnt mean it cant be done because lots of other countries are doing it. Many people who object to change do so out of mistaken beliefs that it doesnt work in other countries. Usually that is because either they dont know anything about non-English speaking countries (and there ARE things not to like about the Canadian and Brit systems) and/or they have never been there and checked it out.
You miss the main reason. People want the freedom to choose. Are you against that?
