>I haven't seen any real evidence of this, but I've certainly seen where privatizing these things made them worse and more expensive. You phrase this significantly based on what youve seen. In the usa, Duke energy, PGE, Con Edison, and countless new solar and wind setups. For water, yes, still pretty heavily publicly owned. American Water, united utilities, or Suez North America though are exceptions. This doesnt count culligan and similar, it doesnt count private water dispensaries. >At least in the US, having healthcare be a for-profit thing has been utterly disastrous. Big pharma is worth a trillion gdp a year and provides 50% of the world's medicine. 75% of new medicines come from the usa. 90% of bleeding edge medical comes from usa research scientists. If you want the "best" medical help in the world, you go to the usa. What you call "utterly disasterous" is more social or the consequences of 74% of USA being overweight or worse.
