Only a fool can truly believe that physicians will be on the government payroll. The current Medicare is better than any HMO. Your health decisions are now decided by your HMO which decides them based on profit rather than your physician. Medicare doesn't decide which doc, specialist, or hospital can treat you. I am not suggesting a single payer system, but rather, tell the truth to be taken seriously. Trying to allow individuals to buy their own insurance will fail as salesman will be like vultures for commission. The poor individual has no real understanding of the small print. The only reason that Medicare supplements work is that the government finally decided to mandate 10 plans. All companies sell the same plan and their premium and services determine the winners. Years ago, insurance we free to design their own plans and it was a total mess for individuals trying to buy coverage.

The biggest concern, and a legitimate one, is that those currently insured fear the additional insured clogging the system. Guess better to let them die than provide decent coverage.
