You could say the same thing about eliminating private health, dental, and vision insurance (or at the very least, making it so that all providers are required to accept public insurance). Making coverage a right instead of a privilege would at least lessen the foothold that employers have on the necks of their employees.

But yes, the government could procure services from providers on your behalf the same way it procures everything else, and that would greatly reduce dependence on employers.
