I agree with your characterization of the problem from things I've seen, too.

No matter how you cut it, any system that uses the private insurance industry as the payer is subjecting its citizenry to a system that is adversarial in its structure.

Like any profit-driven entity, it must strive to deliver as little as possible while taking in as big a payment as possible. The decision is thus simply one of whether or not we want this structure for something as important as the delivery of our health care.
