Interestingly though, if you only made a change with "payer" you could argue you'd get more choice. That is, right now it's typically: you -> employer -> plan If gov't was the payer then it'd be: you -> plan In fact you could argue that if the gov't made some base benefits to all americans thing then you'd get the best of all worlds because you could: 1.) go with the gov't el cheapo plan (maybe locked down prov network, et al) 2.) buy your own "USACare Advantage" plan which would be gov't benefits+ and administered privately. 3.)
