This is the most ######ed argument I've ever heard, and just to be clear, you're not even close to being the first person to make the argument about some government beurocrat making decisions about what treatments you can receive.

You're worried that a government official is going to decide what treatment you can receive? Well how is that worse than an insurance company exec deciding?

Seriously, here in communist Canada it's doctors that make those decisions, not our MPs. Meanwhile insurance companies, up until now, were willing and able, to take people's money for years, and then when they need it, to deny coverage becasue it was a pre-existing condition.
Why anyone would think that's a fair system is beyond me.
