I agree completely

While it’s a bit more of a financial burden we must be more accountable and take responsibility for our own health

Doctors are/were facilitators for our health

But ultimately it’s up to us

I am more than happy to pay out of pocket for any Dental, Chiropractor, Massage Therapist, etc.

Clinics like Ezra Wellness is the future and inspires more confidence

The only way you would find me near any government funded hospital is if I were unconscious and unresponsive

This is the problem with socialised medicine. It's a Fabian socialist strategy of killing the people with kindness, just as Beatrice Webb expressed it (see https://www.clearnfo.com/the-ultimate-history-lesson/, scroll down to the video of Part 3 and scrub forward to the 20 minute mark). Just as the imperial Romans used public health measures and other public services to quell dissent in their conquered territories, governments use 'free' health care, 'free' public education and various other services that are NOT free because they're funded through taxation (which the less-affluent have no choice but to pay while the wealthy evade it) to sucker people into giving up responsibility for themselves, and becoming dependent on the state. Once people have been entrained to believe that it's the state's responsibility to educate their children, look after them when they're sick, and provide for them in old age - rather than their personal responsibility, and joint responsibility to care for each other as a community - the state reveals its true intentions. As John Taylor Gatto points out, the symbol of the Fabian socialists is the wolf in sheep's clothing.
