School choice and medical choice are very different.
With school choice, parents do incredible amounts of research, and can send their kids to excellent schools wherever they live, or however bad their local school boards are. And yes, ALL parents invest in their kids' success, your (not OP's but generic reader's) stereotypes against minorities aside. It's a relatively efficient market. It benefits from choice + competition, with just transparency regulations (choice schools should be subject to FERPA, PPRA, public records laws, allow parent visits, etc.), and possibly governance regulations (not-for-profit school choice works best).
Medical choice comes up when I'm hit by a car. I don't have time to do research then, and it's the definition of an inefficient market. I go with whoever shows up, and worry about the bankrupting bills and/or malpractice lawsuits later.
Dumping private insurance 100% makes sense. It's pure overhead. It's a place conservatives deny science and evidence.
Providing school choice 100% make sense too. It makes for better schools. It's a place liberals deny science and evidence.
> And yes, ALL parents invest in their kids' success
Categorically false. Generic reader here, and I grew up in an abusive home with parents that could literally not have given two shits about my future, success or emotional well-being. For you to assert that they ALL do this is either an incredibly sheltered or willfully ignorant point of view.
