"No difference. Like most distinct groups, you could say they consider themselves 'the people'. Thus, when they have a need, "we, the people", take care of it. There's some idiots on here like stealhead that don't quite get it and think that's some kind of a RWWJ plot."

Wow. Your question went right over his wittle head.

"And as far as negotiating rates down, every time I've been to a hospital or Dr., there's a different rate for cash vs. insurance payments. Again, how is that somehow part of a RWWJ plot?"

Obviously you have no idea why hospitals have different rates. There's the private insurance rate. There's the rate for the rich who have dough. Then there's the highest rate which is what they charge your govt for providing socialized medicine to thos who do not have insurance or dough.
