Not always

If your employer is on an admin service / passthrough basis, that $200 a month goes into their bank account instead of the insurers. Very cool

My favorite part of insurance is my boss picking the plan options while having no idea what any of them do

does anyone actually like their insurance?

Yes, but only because my super awesome insurance means I can go to the hospital for free, outpatient imaging is free, urgent care is free, primary copays are $20 and specialists $40, every single med is $10/month, and even reproductive medicine is free.

Professionals with insurance aren’t going to be magnetically attracted to “Private insurance is always bad, everyone needs to be shoved into Medicare.”

I happen to remember growing up with intermittent health insurance and having basically no interaction with doctors or dentists from adolescence to my early 30s (with a distinct memory of my mom saying “don’t break your arm this month, we’re out of coverage”), so I’m in favor of dismantling my awesome health insurance to establish universal access to healthcare. And dental care, and mental care.

Also, I like how it's common knowledge that you don't buy insurance when playing blackjack because it's a total loving scam, but it doesn't translate out into the real world despite it being essentially the same loving thing as blackjack insurance.

One complaint I see frequently about Medicare/Medicaid is the complaint that they don't reimburse enough to make it worthwhile for physicians.

The CMS actuarial tables are the best-researched in existence and have a built-in profit margin, you aren't gonna be getting a new Porsche every three months like you would as a dick pill doctor but if you can't make your practice work on those reimbursements it's because you're lovely at running a business.

On the other hand if medicare has those same coverage levels but costs less off the paycheck because nobody's trying to squeeze shareholder dividends out of sick kids, private insurance is still bad.
