The only things private insurance companies should be allowed to cover are procedures outside basic necessities (e.g. plastic surgery). All basic necessities should be covered by a government-backed insurance system with little or no money out-of-pocket. That's how things work in pretty much all other developed countries (and their healthcare spending per capita is much lower than that of the US).
Additionally, it should be noted that even most self-described moderates support this kind of system (for example, if you looked at exit polls from the 2020 Democratic primaries in states like FL, MS, and SC, where Biden won overwhelmingly, you will notice that most primary voters in those states still supported single-payer healthcare, so their votes for Biden weren't because of his position on healthcare, but in spite of it).
