GOP Wants CHOICE in health care. It's seductive... but what are the best agruments against "Choice"? [View all]

[eniwetok]

The GOP sells "choice" in health care as if it's "freedom" and no one can dare object to "freedom".. can they?

Of course the GOP sweeps under the carpet all that administrative overhead for all these "choices"

So how should we counter this seductive argument?

This might not be not the best argument... but here goes. States often have a simple gas tax collected at the pump which covers road maintenance... but an alternative is to have privately owned road with toll booths. You're free to pay or find the free roads. This offers plenty of CHOICE... but included in all those tolls is immense overhead... all the salaries/admin costs/profits etc needed to administer a system(s) of private roads.

Sometimes CHOICE is nothing but a needlessly expensive alternative to a simple plan that covers everything.
