Critical of moving away from private health care providers

From this editorial

You can see where this leads. Before long, the insurance "market" would be a single-payer show. The same dynamic would eventually push private players out of the employer-paid market as well, because the tax-subsidized plan will have the same advantage. Employers will choose it because it will cost them less.

...

Socialized health coverage would leave them dependent on one monopoly insurer. If Medicare's continued slide toward insolvency is any guide, it would lead to out-of-control costs and big tax hikes down the road.
