I'm not sure about the rest of your post, but that point is a good one. One thing that some are leaving out of the debate is that health insurance companies are bureacratic. They have to approve procedures and tests. To some extent, insurance companies ration and restrict health care currently. There doesn't seem to be much outrage about that though.
