By "people" they mean corporations and ghoulish wealth hoarders. And those choices are "charge a lot" or "charge as much as possible".
Lmao at politicians saying "people like choices in healthcare plan." The choices are always like "do you want to pay more for going out of network, or have higher copays for appointments?" Those aren't choices, just strategies to try to pay less. Everyone would choose "free".

There’s always the popular “do I want to keep working at this shitty job or do I want to give up my healthcare?” choice. Well, popular with employers, at any rate.

Medicare For All = MORE choice. Choose any doctor, any clinic, any hospital, any treatment. I've never seen a single god damn insurance plan that doesn't restrict our choices!

They're not choices, they're dilemmas. That's what you get with private insurance, endless dilemmas.

The very notion that you can make a rational choice in health insurance is based on the false premise that you can accurately predict your future diseases and injuries, and yet if you could, why bother with insurance, which is used to cover for the unexpected?

I have Universal Healthcare (Italy). I chose my doctor from a list of doctors available in my town of residence. She's fantastic. I can see her whenever I need to, no appointment required, and it's free. I'll never understand why some people are apparently opposed to that.
