The big difference is that if something is expensive or high-risk like heart surgery, it's still offered to everybody equally. Under this proposed plan, you still have more options if you have money. (Not that rich people don't have more options here as well, but at least access to the actual procedures is equal.)
We may get ourselves into a position where we have to do triage on certain medical procedures due to rising costs, but I dealy hope (and intend to vote) that acess to those procedures is still provided to everybody.
Though we don't cover teeth or eyes, for reasons I can't fathom.
By the time doctors figured out how much teeth affect the rest of your health, we were already facing a funding crunch.
