Here's what I don't understand about the question on "outlawing" private insurance. [View all]

That question was asked of all of our primary candidates: would you as president support outlawing private insurance? (or similar wording) and asked for a show of hands.

I hope all of our primary candidates would rephrase that question as follows: if your need is related to your health you would be covered. If you mean care that is primarily for enhancement of your looks, e.g. breast enlargement, facelifts, etc., you would pay for it yourself. So a surgeon or dermatologist whose whole practice is devoted to enhancements would have to adjust his/her practice accordingly.

Isn't that the best way for our primary candidates to proceed? The way this question is asked, though, makes it look like Dems will take away your primary care doc or your specialist in whatever medical need you have.

Tell me if I am missing something, but we are losing bigly on this issue and we have to establish some clarity on it.
