Well what do you mean by "private healthcare association" here?
Replicate the single payer model, but make it voluntary and independent of politicians. Have individuals that want to participate pay into it in order to drive down costs, and leave out those that do not want to participate.
You also do not cause collateral damage under this solution. Looking at the NHS in the UK, some individuals end up paying more in taxes than they save on healthcare. Even if they are a minority, they do not deserve to be forced into a system that hurts them financially.
That doesn't make sense. You can't replicate a single payer model, if it isn't single payer.
If you leave out individuals who do not want to participate, then I would assume they are paying for their own care..... when means it isn't single payer.
And again, I already shot down the claim it would drive down costs. Repeating a failed argument doesn't make it legitimate again.
