Why have private insurers at all? What essential service do they provide?

How about Medicare for all, and allowing the government to bargain for drugs just like Costco or Wal-mart or other large buyers? Instead or worrying about deductibles, co-pays, skyrocketing premiums, or pre-existing conditions you could just get care when you need it, and at a 4% overhead, instead of the 30% profit and overhead private insurers put in their pockets, instead of into health care.
