I'm just going on my past experiences. I have worked in all sectors mentioned and of all of them the most incompetence and inefficiecency has come from the gov't. Not saying it's always true but seems to be more often than not.
We attract brillant minds from all over the world to work in the medical field in th US because of a private, and yes, well paying system. I get the argument that some or even many aren't getting treatment but that appears to be the case for many nations with national healthcare. The price is that no one benefits. The doctors aren't as good and they run people along assembly line style when you actually get in to see them. I don't think it's accidental that many of the great meds and procedures that are created here are a product of our private system that other countries benefit from.
The system needs to be reformed but I think natinalization is a poor step backwards. I've asked before about nationalizing banks, healthcare, anything. Where on this earth does it actually work?
