"It's also part of an early warning and prevention system for the human eco-system. A nasty bug hits your community, access to a doctor can stop it fairly quickly."

Human ecosystems don't feel pain, get crippled and die; people do. It's individuals that will seek out the services. This isn't about etherial transmission of communicable diseases. In general, the docs may be able to handle any particular one and maybe not. This is about having those that work hard pay for everyone elses incompitancies and laziness, w/o regard.

Unless there's motivation for those engaging in the med market to control costs, they won't be. The ones with enough money to pay the taxes for everyone elses healthcare will continue to pay, regardless of complaint. On top of that freedom will be lost, and justified by all the complaints.

So, you get some guy with a nasty bug in the kitchen of the local restaurant making your salad and trying to ride out what he thinks is a cold -- because a doc is a hundred bucks a visit. You get some parent who puts off having their kid checked out until pay day and sends the kid to school with meninigitis.
