I agree, and there would be waste and abuse in any nationalised health program.

But I think it's pretty impressive that the US military can move 250,000 troops and materiel half way round the world in 90 days!And I think there should be option on both sides. If there is to be universal health care, there should still be a private sector for those who still like the current system. I look at it the same as governmental housing. There is no way government accommodations for everyone will compare to my home.
I agree and that's the way it works in most countries that have nationalised health care.

In the UK I used to have private health insurance, partly subsidised by my employer. It also helps relieve the load on the NHS.

And many doctors work both for the NHS and their own private practice.
