Who would you rather have making your health care choices? The government or insurance companies?

Please don't say yourself or your doctor. Unless you are wealthy enough to pay out of pocket for exactly the care you and/or your doctor prefer, somebody else is going to be making, or at least significantly influencing, all of your health care decisions.

    It will always be our choice. Even in the HR health care bill. I would like it to be me. But when it is a matter of Money the insurance company may have a say but it should be unlawful for them.

    The government, except for Medicare, doesn't make heath care choices and won't until we have UHC. IF the Supreme Court says that the mandate is unconstitutional, then the door will be opened for the single payer, which is legal and constitutional. Insurance companies really do have death panels.

    I say government, because I have more influence with the government than I do with any insurence company.
