I've been forced by various plans to go to certain doctors at certain times - have had to wait months for eye appointments for my kids, or for ob/gyn appointments for my now-ex-wife..

There's been someone 'between' you and your doctor for a couple of decades now - it's called an insurance rep.
I don't exactly consider a vasectomy life threatening. We Americans, who are concerned about health care rationing, are thinking in much more serious terms such as will be denied heart-bypass surgery simply due to our age. We can hardly hope for medical services that will enhance our quality of life.

I'm sure the government will provide necessary medical care to some seniors, just the "lucky" ones who have to work ...... to support their unemployed adult children and grandchildren.
