It doesn't say that because it will be so expensive to the government, that it will need to be very basic and have strict criteria about what they will pay for and what they won't. Joe makes no mention that they could pass legislation to completely kill any private pay care. They could "require" all providers to participate, then they are under control of Big Brother. (which they are under Medicare to a large extent).
