Voting work this time. I've voted other because almost all but maybe one or two of the replies I am concerned about. Healthcare bill proposals as they stand now are pretty much either right or left but healthcare is about everybody not to the medical division and I don't see it they are speaking to people only to their party. Also there's a difference between healthcare and insurance. In these proposals don't really say much I don't think about healthcare percent more about coverage. We might all be better off if everybody paid into one payer system. As it stands now people get used to hear you had a key. Some of their coverage is better than typing policies around. Why would somebody want to look for a job if they get everything they want and you healthcare through Medicaid? Yes some people do need it with you mounds of people needing it seem to be going up and up and up

Good point -- most people are probably concerned with a majority (and likely all) of these choices. But there is some variation in how people rank them individually. A recent survey showed some overlap between how doctors and patients ranked these (and other) healthcare delivery attributes. You can read a short examination of the survey results here:

Agreed. A study linked in my previous comment found that fewer than a third of patients surveyed reported adequate physician engagement with the preventative services you touch on above.
