Eventually, especially if this schema were successful, it would represent a political threat to the single payer advocates and would be targeted for destruction with significant punitive measures to practitioners so that it would never be resurrected. The greatest threat to government run health care is a competitive alternative that exposes the government's inadequacies or inefficiencies or outright ineptitude.
