> The US where everything is private and is the most expensive (by far!!) with the least covered and worst outcomes compared to the one's we're talking about. You're ignoring ALL the evidence just to bolster your ideological nonsense. Do AMD and Intel have have a cartel, or do they have a healthy competition that drives down prices and improves product quality? That's direct evidence against your claim that a) I'm ignoring "ALL evidence", and b) that all corporations form cartels to avoid competition. The fact that sometimes corporations form cartels does not entail that they always form cartels. The evidence is in fact overwhelming that this usually doesn't happen, but where it does I agree that the government should enforce its competition laws. Finally, you didn't provide an argument refuting the point that government bureaucracy has an equally large problem in monotonic growth. Even if it were true that corporations always formed cartels, which it's not, it's not clear that this would always be a worse situation than that presented by monotonic growth and the inefficiencies that follow. Yes, the US has a serious healthcare problem. Other countries with privatize health insurance don't suffer from these problems, eg. consider Switzerland and Singapore.
