You seem to have a different definition of "choice" than I do.
When I say "choice", I'm talking about things like, say, smoking. Things everyone and their pet duck - including the people selling the product - are telling them is bad for them. When people do that, and end up having health problems because of that, it's a direct result of something *they* decided to do. Thus, it should be *their* problem.
Beyond that, I still wouldn't want to see a universal health care system that was fully government-run, because past experiences don't suggest that they would do it particularly well. The right mix of public and private might produce something better... but other than "not what the US has right now", I don't know what.
