" They are more than fed up with the the vagaries and contrariness of private health insurance companies--vagaries and contrariness they do not have to contend with when treating patients who are endowed with government supplied health insurance."

I suspect that the market forces are abridged in the government paid private insurance. The companies agree to be easier to deal with and charge more because government administrators are more responsive to coworkers and less concerned about negotiating the best price.

If the private market is eliminated and government bureaucracy is the only game in town you can expect more irrationality from the government bureaucrats. They cannot be blamed for assessing the current reality and preferring the less painful version of practicing. All things change.
