This sounds better than it is.  Assuming that we continue with private insurance, then every insurer will need to establish provider networks to use preferentially, or the benefit of competition is lost.  Even the insurance companies are against this, because they would have to expand their support functions so greatly to manage all their providers that they would price themselves out of the markets where they might compete.  In fact, they can't handle what they currently have, and are bailing.

Single payer is still the right answer.  Even the Republicans know that, but fight it tooth and nail anyway.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
