In the USA you doctor and nurses are just puppets; your insurance company and their Wall Street backers hold the strings.

Private medical insurance companies make money by withholding health care for their insured. They make their money by getting out of paying for your health care. The policy holder is not their customer the companies shareholders are their customers. And if you get really sick you will find out that you insurance company calls the all shots, not you or your doctor.

With government health care plans, you are the customer not some wealthy Wall Street dude. That is the difference between government health care and private medical insurance.
