I'm not saying EVERYTHING should be under government control by any means. But some things seem to work fine under government control, and private industry isn't always more efficient.

what studies?
and do the studies distinguish "quality" of care?

I think you are confused. Under a medicare plan, you still go to a private (not public) provider to receive medical care.
Not all care providers participate in Medicare. However, the same is true for the typical private insurance plan.

subgenius,

Most of what you said to me are confused rants. But I will reply to one thing because it is about factual information.
subgenius wrote: not false, you are wrong - the voucher is mandatory should the employee opt for it....if an employee, as i described before, qualifies then they are "entitled" to the voucher...the employer has no "choice". (hint: compare entitled to choice)

Your talking points are out of date. The original law said vouchers would be mandatory, but that was repealed 18 months ago.
It’s relatively easy to agree that only Homo sapiens can speak about things that don’t really exist, and believe six impossible things before breakfast. You could never convince a monkey to give you a banana by promising him limitless bananas after death in monkey heaven.
