"Public and Private"--Cannonfire

"private enterprise always does a better job

That cracks me up because the public has had to bail out one hell of alot of private enterprise ass within the last year and will bailout more private enterprise ass in the coming months and all in the trillions.But private enterprise always does a better job?

This notion is a lie meant to further the privation of public services .
It's like the best and the brightest somehow knowing best....another lie.

There are some things that aren't not meant to generate profits. The sick, the elderly, the police and fire dept, prisons etc.

The health care mess stems from trying to find obscene profits, within the medical costs for care.

Health care is not an industry. You might as well call the police an industry....and perhaps we will shortly. Stop paying insurance companies CEOs 300 million a year and you'd be amazed at how many more people could be covered. Why do we even have insurance companies at this point? They were created to supposedly cut costs. They are past their time...the problem there is they give so much $$$$ to elected officals for their campaigns. How many more people could be covered if that lobbying money went to health care?

We live in a world were maintaing the three martin lunch at the strip club culture is way, way more important than health screening the public.
