should the citizens of a state allow the government to be in complete control of their health care?

When the choice is profit or people, private companies inevitably chose profit. Government run systems may not always be efficient, but they tend to be effective. A system such as that which exists in France, where everyone has a baseline of coverage, but consumers can opt to pay for additional insurance to pay for things such as private rooms might work. That would be a mechanism for getting the best of both a socialized and privatized system.
government run program’s intent is to provide healthcare. The military has a healthcare system, where the government runs thousands of hospitals and clinics both in the US and it in numerous other countries. The quality of care is good, and costs are contained by providing services within those facilities rather than sending the patient out of the system.

Governments don’t run healthcare. They finance it through taxes and distribute the amount to fund the health service. This it is not some government minister or health secretary that is making health decisions.
Therefore doctors are and should be in charge of your healthcare. Something wrong with your leg? He/she will decide the best course of action whether it an x-ray, physical therapy, some type of drug or other solution up to and including sending you to a specialist for further investigation/analysis.
He/she should not have to request that a procedure or other solution has to be approved or something else substituted for that procedure. That procedure should not be denied or otherwise blocked because the cost will be too much or it is not on the list of approved procedures.
