Given that our government is incredibly corrupt and self-serving, whereas our private sector is relatively capable and efficient, it makes sense to go with the private sector option.:lol
Because adding government services inherently pushes private businesses out of the market, and makes the remaining one's struggle more.

So?? Healthcare has the advantage of having a captive customer base. If private services can't compete even with that advantage let them go out of business, just like anyone else in business.
