As with most things, the devil is in the details.

Yes, the current system has high churn that leads to suboptimal outcomes. I completely agree something ought to be done about it.

My question for supporters of Medicare for all is this: Do you want to prevent me from paying a doctor for care, if I want to?

If a non-government-based market for healthcare can still exist, I will likely not object to however the program’s proponents think best to implement it. However, if they are going to design a system through which all healthcare in the entire country must go, I am going to heavily scrutinize it and be very skeptical — probably deciding not to support it.
