I still don't know what your question is. Let me make my position clear. Medicare is a government mandate. Yet, once I became eligible for medicare, I had several options, including several private companies to provide these, and other benefits. if I had my way, everyone in America would be on Medicare.I am with Caremore Advantage health plan. I can switch to United Health or Humana Health Advantage plan any time I want to. If I don't like them,, I can just get my Medicare from the government, instead.

If we go single payer, everyone will pay "premiums" (taxes) for government health insurance. Not one private insurance company can force you to buy their product. How do you blind yourself to that difference?
I have paid Medicare taxes all my life, and as I said, in my zip code I have a choice of three insurance companies, or the government for my Medicare.
What does that have to do with my question?
Frankly, I don't understand what your question is.
Do you understand the difference between a private business and government? Namely that government coerces compliance - whereas dealing with a private company is voluntary.
