Here's the BIG difference. Yes, insurers, particularly HMO's have mechanisms to get involved in decision making. But remember, as a consumer you always have access to the court system if they do something egregious. Also, if there are numerous complaints at least the company has the ability to change carriers (which we have done several times because of problems) and for most there are options for different coverage that are non-HMO. With the government you get NONE of those protections and there is no one they are accountable to. Just ask the British who if you are suffering from macular degeneration you have to go blind in one eye before they will pay for the treatment in the other eye and that's a fact! If we are dumb enough to accept this from our government we deserve the same misery.
