Elected representatives should determine what healthcare I get?

Really?

Irrespective of how healthcare is financed, they are going to do that (well, the government is, it is possible that the government may not be comprised of elected representatives), the question isn’t whether they should, but how many other actors that are neither you nor your doctor should.
Yes. Indirectly.
Yeah. They should manage the organization that directly decides, like the current arrangement with CMS managing Medicare.
Yes but with medicare for everyone. Of course.
