No doubt, if you have an awful lot of money, you can buy good coverage and get good care. Most of us -- and let's restrict the field to well-paid lawyers -- aren't in that league, though. If you're a GA and you get coverage through an HMO or a PPO, your care is going to be rationed by a private party if and when you get sick. GAs are not as attuned to this, since we tend to be younger and healthier. And our system isn't a particularly good deal. If you look at the share of GDP spent on healthcare, we're not doing so well compared to some countries with nationalized systems.
