I don't want to call this guy a liar but I strongly perceive when someone doesn't go to a private healthcare when they run out of public options, it has a lot more to do with them not being able to afford it and not much to do with beliefs.

Dr. Martin Potter worked in the public system for two decades before opening a private clinic, where he says he has more freedom to hire as he wants and see patients as he pleases.

“I see a lot of patients who already have a family doctor, but they can't see them in a timely fashion, so they make an appointment with me, and I'm happy to help them out,” Potter said.

“People who don't believe in private care won't come and see me. But the people who do see me ... the majority are very happy.”

He's not a liar just a moron. Doctors are not always the brightest bulbs. When you overly specialize you lose your ability to critically think outside your direct field.
