Yes, but you can conjure a list of 'people won't want to give up "x"' when you talk about ANYTHING that is in one condition today and there is a suggestion to change it tomorrow.
Simple example - people didn't want to "give up" SUVs until about a year ago - even knowing the wasteful and uneconomical design. Then when they finally get a snootful of reality in the form of $3 per gallon gas, they can't get rid of them fast enough.
In other words, we can't skip over the only real solution that addresses the external stresses on the health care system because there are people too f00lish to realize that they are f00lish.
Given the fact that many people have learned some lessons the hard way recently, the mood of some stalwart naysayers may be different today. So I think you over-exaggerate the 'danger' of people not "wanting to give up" their health care system. For those who kick and scream, too bad. When my kids were 2 and screamed in the store, I dragged them along with me. This is how we have to deal with immature folks who can't grab hold of reality.
Build the right system that will be most cost-effective. In the end, we need the grownups to come through with a new structure that will transition us away from almighty "capitalism" (i.e. corporations vs. consumers) which has proved to be an utter failure for Americans.
