I do not want a single, government-run health care plan that will limit my choices of doctors, hospitals, medications, procedures, etc. HMOs are bad enough.

Hi Jake,
I don't know where you get your impressions of "government run health care plans" but it doesn't sound right to me.
I *know* you're wrong when it comes to the Canadian one, but I think you're also misinformed about U.S. (Federal) run health care.
For example, I believe they pay top dollar by law (which seems a bit stupid).
I believe they cannot restrict what doctors you see.
Not at all sure about medication, but if the difference is that they insist on "generic" when there is one I don't see that as bad.
Procedures-wise, I believe ALL of your PRIVATE health care insurers have far far more paperwork/approvals/restrictions/limits than any of your government plans.
cheers
