I doubt there would be anything to prevent you from spending your own money on a doctor for the rationed services. That is the case under Medicare, a doctor can choose not to participate and payment is between the doctor and the patient.

The other side of the coin is that there will be rationing under a single payer system. It certainly is not going to save money. I am getting older, which is better than the alternative, and would not want the government to tell me whether I cab be treated. Then, you would prefer to have a for profit company ration your health care?
