Like any profit-driven entity, it must strive to deliver as little as possible while taking in as big a payment as possible. Profit driven industries, often make money by pleasing their customers rather than by trying to squeeze every last penny out of them in the short run.

any system that uses the private insurance industry as the payer is subjecting its citizenry to a system that is adversarial in its structure. Why do you think public insurance wouldn't be adversarial? You're right, it's not profit driven. But it's budget driven and politically driven. Pick your poison. Personally, I like the idea of being able to change insurance companies if I find mine too disagreeable. With single payer you have no choice. All other things being equal, I always opt for choice.
