I usually try to steer clear of these issues, but I'll chime in on this one..
Right now, no matter who actually picks up the bill for the health insurance/plan it is still in the private sector. Doctors still make their own decisions, and individuals have a choice on which doctors to visit and are presented with a range of treatment options. Insurance companies negotiate the procedure cost with the doctors, and how much will be reimbursed. This being said, If we turn to government run health care, what value do you think they will place on a procedure? At what point in an individual's life will a procedure not be worth paying for? And finally, As someone in the process of entering medical school, where is there any incentive for future doctors or for currently practicing doctors to continue. In short, the quality of health care will drop drastically.
