As long as there is a choice for the person in question, I fail to see the problem.

Well said Brian, this is a sensible solution. A lot of people would be happy to pay cash or use cheaper insurance for their regular gp visits if they knew there was a parallel system for the bad times. What we can't afford is a system that makes private medicine illegal or continues to subsidize paper pushing over health care. [/to acknowlege common sense over politics]
