The companies won't go out of business. They will make less money, though.


They will sell supplemental plans like they do for Medicare and "Rolls Royce plans" that pay for stuff beyond what the government pays for them, making you more attractive as a client (you're no longer a patient) to doctors. A rough description of the single-payer system most foresee is "Medicare for everyone"; the government is the primary insurer and there's continued access to private plans.
