The really hard part will be making the insurance companies not want to cover Proles.

That's not the hard part. It's easy to ban private insurance companies, if that's what you want to do. If not, you can easily drive them out of business by offering the public insurance at a premium that's lower than they can afford to match. That's why we still have (mostly) public schools in this country - because the schools have a near-zero marginal cost to enrollees, it's difficult for private competitors to take over.

The hard part is paying for it. In all the states that have made a serious run at a state-wide single-payer system, most notably Vermont, that's where they've foundered. They can't find a way to make the funding work.
