That would be pseudo-competition so long as the entities are staffed by government employees/appointees and could be propped up with tax revenues to the extent necessary. Not to mention subject to Congresses porkbarrel funding abilities.
Did you read Hillary's healthcare plan? There were actually some good ideas but I haven't read it in awhile, so I don't remember what the major flaws were. The good ideas were disperse the risk widely over as many people as possible by having the largest possible pool of insureds, and get rid of free riders.
