Sounds like the government is already running health care!
This is exactlly what most people fail to realize. The difference is at least with the govt, any denials for treatment would be open to the public scrutiny via freedom of information act if nothing else.

Meanwhile if a private insurance company whom you pay a premium to denies you treatment, you have to spend countless tens of thousands of dollars and years trying to sue them. In the end if you are lucky and haven't died of what ever ailed you, you might win against their hundreds of lawyers, but likely winning the lottery is a better chance.
