I only support rationing for extant public systems.

You might have brought that up earlier in the discussion. Your previous posts made it look like you were all for rationing care to everyone in the US.

Obviously supporting the government option means everyone will be subject to federal government interference.

"Rationing only affects people who won't accept personal responsibility until it is outlawed."

Failing to ration in our public systems affects all of us who have to pay into the treasury for that shortfall.

I would prefer to have private enterprises doing the rationing. If I don't like how my current provider rations care I can switch providers. Once we have all become subject to government rationing there will be no place to turn without leaving the country.
