Yes and Republicans fight that at every turn.. However we already have proof of working concept.. Medicare works just fine, all we need is Medicare for everyone. Medicare already controls the prices they pay.. The biggest issues with Medicare is when Hospitals/Doctors try to bill fraudulently but they do that with insurance companies as well..
If we had Medicare for everyone, covering the basic health care stuff people could then get gap insurance or something like that to "upgrade" their polices if they wanted to..
The only problem with healthcare in the US, is it's been turn into a "for profit" industry, where profit is more important that people's health.
