    But it's not your choice.

    It's the insurance company's choice.

    You're paying the insurance company for access to the doctors they contract with.

    And how do you know you're making a choice with all the options in front of you?

    What you're doing is making a choice after two choices have already been made for you: the first choice made was by an insurance company for which doctors they work with, and the second choice made before your choice was the choice your boss makes over what insurance plans you can choose from.

    So you don't have true choice at all. Two choices have already been made for you before you can even make your own. You get that, right?

    If I provide you with these facts, are you going to accept them or are you just going to ignore them? I don't want to waste my effort on someone who acts exclusively in bad faith. I get that enough from Flash.

    Your employer isn't offering you health care, they're offering you access to an insurance plan.

    No, you don't pay for your healthcare. You pay premiums into a pool from which providers are reimbursed for your care. You are in a pool with millions of other people, so your premiums are going to pay their health care too.

    Now, why would you reject what your employer is offering?

    And you said you've had employer-provided insurance for 30 years, so you never once rejected anything they chose for you, did you?

    No, he’s a neutral judge as he should be. I applaud him for that.

    But how do you know it's what you wanted without seeing the full market?

    How can you make an informed decision when your choices have already been limited twice?

    It's not what you wanted, it's what your insurance company and boss wanted.

    You had to choose from what they were offering...so you don't have true freedom of choice.

    You have the freedom to choose from choices already made two levels above you.

    What's hilarious is, libs actually believe good doctors will work for peanuts. These so-called "good doctors" won't be around. Under single payer, you'll be able to choose your doctor. Do you want Dr. Smith, or Dr. Kumar? It's ENTIRELY up to you.
