==for the same reasons they fail to draw a line between their current insurer's negotiated rates and cost of care.==
Insurance companies are not subject to FOIA requests like the government. People tie Medicare to the Government, why would this be different?
==A single negotiator will likely only make pricing more opaque==
Not sure it's possible to be more opaque than today. All of the other country's who do it this way have far more transparent pricing than the US, so I'm not sure I buy this reasoning.
