Choice A:
The government will provide you with reasonably priced healthcare. You can see most any doctor you want, at any time, without our approval. We'll pay for any recognized treatment you want, for any ailment you have. For about $150/month, you can buy additional coverage that will cover most deductibles and ancillary costs.
Choice B.
A private, profit-making company will manage your healthcare, within the bounds of what they think is reasonable, to insure they make a profit. They'll give you a free gym membership (that everyone wants, of course) and maybe 2 dental cleanings. In exchange, you save about $100/month on medical cost. In exchange for that $100, most Dr visits will be handled by a nurse or PA. You can't see any other Doctor, unless the Nurse/PA/Dr says you absolutely need to. If you need any special procedures or treatments, send them a message and they'll let you know if it fits into their business/profit model.
For the price of Cable TV, you can get the best healthcare available in the world or you can opt to save yourself $150/month.
Tough choice.
