I think John, and some of the others would recognize the concept of unintended consequences, but they would either minimize how it applies to government funded health care (saying something like "these consequences would be less than the problems we have now", or "these consequences would be minimal", or "they could be adjusted for"), or they would try to argue along the lines of ("any action or plan can have unintended consequences, and its just your ideological bias, that makes you think it would be so much larger from government action than from private action") or they would make an argument like John has already made saying basically that "a real free market would be more efficient, but we can't have that, and "single payer would be more efficient and useful than the crazy mishmash we have now".
