To judge the correctness of your statement, just look at what has happened to other industries that the US Federal Government controls: costs rise, service times increase, quality suffers, accountability disappears, etc.
- lancewiggs 8y agoYou might want to compare the cost and service from VA to the private medical system. It’s not pretty for the private sector.
- dsfyu404ed 8y agoAgreed. I would have no problem with the Canadian government owning US healthcare since they already own and operate Canadian heath-care and do an ok job at it. Everything the US government owns seems to eventually slide toward being a lot like the DMV.
- nicoburns 8y agoThis seems to be because people in the US don't want to actually give their government control of anything. And thus anything that is government run seems to have clauses that allow private industries control things. The worst of both worlds!
- Moru 8y agoI don't think it's so much the goverment but the industry that tells the government what to do. You don't bite the hand that feed you.
- pjc50 8y agoIf Americans really believed in the superiority and effectiveness of the private system, they'd use it for their military. Troops should have a choice of Medevac service providers!
- specialist 8y agoAnother hypocrisy is the insurance congress critters grant themselves while denying anything comparable to the hoi polloi.
