Therein lies the problem. One of my biggest fears of nationalized healthcare is allowing the government to decide for me.
On the other hand, if the government also insured the doctors, they could probably lower costs of providing the care! (Liability insurance, I mean).
How about a "voucher" system? You can take the basic (free) gov't plan, OR the gov't can pledge a certain amount to private carriers that insure you, and let the carriers compete for who gets the business. Which is basically what I said relating it to medicare (medicare supplemental insurance being a model)
