<<<Tell you what: you tell your private insurer that you're concerned about getting the best care and that in the future, you want to go and be checked out at the Mayo Clinic.
Then come back and tell us what they say.
Private plans are already rationed, and they're subsidized.
I guess this exemplifies what i was talking about before...>>.
It depends on what private policy you buy. I have a PPO and can go to anyone I want, Mayo Clinic, et al.
What you fail to see is that if everyone is forced on the public policy (which the current bill in the House would require in just a few years) we would all be stuck in a plan that is rationing in a manner even more aggressively then Medicare, except, there won't be private insurance to subsidize doctors and hospitals to make up for it.
Get back to me with your choice of medical care when it is Uncle Sam with a practical monopoly in the field, backed by budget deficits equal and growing to in excess to what the United States incurred to fight and win World War II.

P.S. As an example, the bill in the House mandates that anyone who loses their coverage or changes coverage must go into the public plan (by law you are not allowed to change your policy and buy a new policy - which was very similar to the provision that Hillary Clinton had in her bill in 1993). Just one example.
