I mean the opposite. I'll demand that I be able to get all the unnecessary and marginal value tests.


Just to be a jerk and prove some point? Good for you I guess. I'm not sure why you assume guaranteed global insurance would mean there are suddenly no constraints on what tests you can get for free, no copays, or anything like that.


Because we actually have a proposal in the wild hat has passed state senate under these terms.

I'd absolutely go get extensive blood work done on a 6 month cadence and get covered PT if my cost approached zero.


If your docs approve it, then you should probably be doing it!

And if your docs don't approve it and you want it anyway, pay out of pocket! I don't see how this would be detrimental to a single-payer system.


Why? Do you have a needle fetish? Most people aren't trying to go out of their way to get unnecessary tests. They aren't exactly fun; they are usually actually kind of unpleasant.
