In Israel, I had mandatory healthcare that I paid taxes for (about $100 a month) and additional private coverage for about $5 or $20/month (can't remember how much) and thats all you'd ever spend on anything. Even hospital parking was reimbursed. People in the US act like it's either/or, but why can't it be like USPS and UPS? USPS works fine for 99.9% of all deliveries and you can pay extra for UPS if you want to. Healthcare should be the same - Why would I go to a private doctor for a simple throat culture? Makes absolutely no sense.
