If we had medicare for all, our low medicare taxes could be raised to cover everybody, and the pool of contributors would be much larger, payments to medical providers would be lower because of the regulations and common market, and payments would not just be going to sicker older people. 

With no public option, and now with no mandate, premiums for Obamacare have risen. And red states cut off medicaid programs, so they got no money to cover it, and that may have had the effect of raising rates too in the exchanges.

So, you would prefer a government monopoly or single payer as you say. Hmm, I think you'll need a communist, socialist or fascist system to be fully established in order to legally accomplish it here. Now, I don't know how many health insurance companies  where in business and providing health insurance to millions of business's and millions upon million of customers at the time Great Britain and most of Europe were  establishing single payer systems in their countries.

I don't know, but those countries didn't become fascist or communist in order to make the change. And it works well for them at lower prices than in the USA. Private insurance is an unnecessary middle man. Get rid of it and costs go down.
