As for choice in your specific instance? I don't know. Can you choose different insurance provider? You also have the choice to pay out-of-pocket. Under a socialized system, there's no evidence to indicate you'd have more choices. And the OOP option would be diminished as the increase in taxes would eat up some of the income that could make it possible to use that OOP option.
I agree the current system is less than ideal. What do you think of the HSA idea? It would definitely provide you with more options than the current one w/o socializing things.
