I think most people comprehend that all the medical people will not become government employees nor all clinical settings become govt institutions (of course we didnt think the govt would get into the car biz either but I digress).

Beyond that its sort of moot.

There will be a large burocracy set up and to be paid for which is only adds cost to the system.

If the govt is involved, we know that they will shape the process so single payer will render it all to be govt healthcare anyway.

The process will encourage business to abandon insurance which pushes it further to govt HC.

Different pathes but the destination is the same.
