I'm not convinced that privitization = making things worse.

---

This is because you did not look at that list I put up in this thread.
Privatized health care is worse health care. My proof is that public health care (that is government funded and mandated) is much better, cheaper and more reliable than private health care wherever it exists.
You want to know what places have private health care? Places like Ghana, which is reasonably modern for an African nation. In those places, if you can't pay health care costs up front they will throw you on the street.
THAT is fucking private health care.

---

We don't really have a privately run health care system.

---

Yes, you do. What you have is a system that is designed to seamlessly transfer money from the government to private sector industries, which then run the health care system however they please. It is a huge corporate welfare scam. It is similar to the program of massive subsidies that supports the corn farmers, which is the reason high fructose corn syrup is so dirt cheap which is the reason it is in everything in the US.

---

We have a system that's a mixture of public and private that gives us all the wastefulness that a public system can provide and all the corruption that can be gotten from a private system.

---

You've been listening to too much Limbaugh and Coulter. Public/governmently run programs are not inherently wasteful. Nor are private system inherently corrupt.

---

Personally, I would trust a fully privatized system more than a fully government-run system, because there's more direct accountability for one's results.

---

The difference is that public system are accountable to everyone and private systems are accountable only to their shareholders.
