The payer gets to decide what healthcare you get
The decision about what treatment you are allowed to have will be made by govt bureaucrats who are NOT doctors and who award bonuses to compliant clerks who hold down costs
Think of the warmth and compassison of Kathleen Sebelius with an army of TSA-like drone gatekeeper
The healthcare providers will be govt employees or contractors. You think barry-cades of monuments by co-opted NPS ranger order to punish people are bad, if democrats don't get their tax demands
You will wait in line to be seen. Trying to get an appointment will be like trying to get into the obamacare web site
A clerk will decide if you are sick enough to move up the line
A govt clerk will decide if your prescription gets refilled, or if you get the drug the doctor ordered - or something cheaper

You basically described insurance companies.

Just replace “gov’t clerk” with “insurance agent in India” and you are accurate
