There ability to "opt out" should not exist, because those who wish to opt-out end up increasing the costs for everyone else.
It is pretty simple really: Medicare for all, and for those that don't want it and want to exercise their "freedom to opt out", then don't use it. Feel free to exclude yourself from the greater health care system and strike up your own deals with the doctors and drug companies. Let me know how that goes for you....
