The only problem with that is when government is the only way to get healthcare, they dictate how you will live your life.
If you smoke cigarettes, pay for it yourself because government will refuse to. Same with recreational narcotics. Too many beers a week? Not our problem. You have to take random breathalyzer tests to get government coverage. Too fat? Better lose some weight according to big brother.
When government controls healthcare, they control the people. Because nearly everything we do in life is related to healthcare.

I think you said most diplomatically and articulately
what others meant or implied by their posts that weren't so polite
about this problem.
I do believe we can work with govt to publish
standardized price lists that everyone has equal access to.
But what we do with those prices can vary.
I could see all people and parties embracing or incorporating
the cooperative model into their membership structures
to save time and money as well as protect equal access
to services as each believes in funding, so this avoids conflicts.
What I am most curious about, along with if parties will start
implementing these programs into their memberships and precincts,
is if Govt officials could be petitioned to adopt coop models as well.
And if so, if taxmoney owed back to the public for the unconstitutional fiasco including corporate handouts to insurance interests and legal/admin expenses could be refunded or credited back to
the States, parties or people to invest in setting up their own cooperatives that WOULD respect freedom of choice and beliefs,
and would not unconstitutionally deprive anyone of liberty and due process.
If we could use this model to remedy the problems brought up or caused by ACA conflicts in policies, that might also set up better ways to address individual policies in general. Since as you state, health care involves so many levels. By the time we individualize the programs to manage that, wouldn't that solve similar issues with managing any number of areas that govt has bungled up due to differences among people and groups?
