But now it is tied to the government, which is way worse...You can't complain to the government.

Yes, you can.

And you get a vote on who is running it, too

Voting is not a great way to give customer service feedback to your doctor

How do you currently give customer service feedback to your doctor?

[conanbatt]

I go to a different doctor. You can also use Yelp!

[ceejayoz]

You can do this in places with universal single payer healthcare, too.

Your choices are constricted by quality and quantity. Thats why there's private health services in most countries with free public health services

Elections have consequences. Try un-electing your group plan provider.

[conanbatt]

Uh, you can change group plan providers. You cant change the gov. Hell you might not even be able to vote at all.

[seanmcdirmid]

You can change jobs you mean? Group plans are provided by employers, the majority way that Americans get health insurance.

[pandaman]

Employers change plan providers all the time. It happens because, unlike the government, people in charge of choosing the provider are also affected by their choice.
