I went and read t his one because it is the NYT.

This was more of a statement of facts. I think that these doctors are leaving Medicare because they have a choice. There are some people willing to pay more and so be it. But the patients also need to have a choice. Having "no medical care/insurance" does not fall in the choice category since it is being forced on them. so they need to have access to healthcare choices that Obamacare provides for all. And yes, like police protection, like the USPS, like the public defender in a court, the healthcare is similar. Now there are those who need extra protection and they can go and hire a private security unit for bodyguards etc. Similarly in healthcare. You have doctors whose rates are high and people are free to go to them for a better healthcare such as seeking immediate appointments, appointments on their days off such as Saturday and Sunday etc.

It is like this. We have a BART rail system in the SF Bay area. I don't ride the system since I prefer a more convenient personal travel system, my car. I don't mind paying parking fees, bridge tolls etc. which I do not have to pay if I ride the BART train. But every year when I see my property tax bill I am taxed for the BRAT system.
