As bad as insurance companies are, wouldn’t an omnipotent federal authority be worse with no recourse options?
As bad as insurance companies can be, wouldn’t an omnipotent federal authority be 100 times worse with no option for recourse?
Look at how UK’s NHS ran a muck once it achieved the absolute authority over the lives of every middle class family:

“If people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny.”
Thomas Jefferson
PREMEPTIVE RESPONSE TO Y!A HACKS: The current plan in Washington won’t immediately create this omnipotent federal authority—-it WIL HAPPEN though once all private insurance options are ran out of business by the ONLY INSURANCE COMPANY THAT CAN GRAB MONEY DIRECTLY FROM TAX-PAYERS—i.e. THE PUBLIC INSURANCE OPTION!
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
C. S. Lewis

Since no one is proposing an omnipotent government, it doesn’t matter.
since no one is proposing that there be no options or recourse (except the Republican Party, but almost everyone hates them), it doesn’t matter.
Why do you keep assuming that we’re considering a system like the UK’s VASTLY POPULAR system?
We aren’t. The people fo the UK are much happier with what they have than we are with what we have.
Why do you keep posting links to unreliable sources? Do you never believe true things?
