No insurance and paying cash provides better care than medicare at places which accept medicare.

When more people figure out how much better the care is, Obamacare will probably drop in enrollment even further, and traditional insurance may become less common.

Unless the left can successfully mount legislation prohibiting hiring a doctor directly for cash (and absolutely they will try) we may return to how things were up through the early sixties.

That’s not likely to happen. If we do end up with single payer, only the insurance aspect of it will be socialized.

Health care will continue to be delivered privately like in Canada and people who want more than the basic plan can pay a doctor in cash.

And that’s important for people so sick that being on a waiting list effectively condemns them to die.

I think we’re headed in the direction of a hybrid public/private health care system. Pure single payer won’t work in this country and people should still have options available to them.
