Health insurance is not health care.
You are technically correct. Neither a government bureaucrat nor an insurance agent will be my doctor. In that sense, health insurance is not the same as health care. Yet, health insurance is a means by which people may receive help in paying for health care.
Rationing is not "done well" if you think you can trust government to do it.
The private sector rations care. The public sector rations care. Some people are in such poverty and have so few resources that they don't have a practical choice in which sector to trust.
