Wouldn't you like your insurance company to be willing to cover more preventative care, rather than repairative care, like that MRI?

If that MRI you paid for because you wanted good preventative care had found something (let's say something minor you need to keep an eye on in the future), do you realize that your insurance company can choose to arbitrarily and immediately drop you for any future coverage stemming from those findings, or put limits on how much they will pay for any problem during your lifetime.

Don't you find that a little scary?

Nowhere near as scary as a congressional appointed panel deciding who gets care and who doesn't no matter whether it leans right or left. Will postal employees get preferential treatment, teachers? Let the private sector decide based on monetary considerations that correspond far more closely to the amount an individual contributed to social and government programs in the first place. You know Capitalism, the American Way!
