You have never been in business to make this comment. I worked for years with Fortune 100 companies and they were too big to fail - heard that before? Many had monopolies of sorts so the customers pay for the inefficiency.
When "businesses" manage healthcare as they do in the USA we get a system that costs double what people in other countries pay and we have worse coverage. I had a procedure done in Germany at one of their best hospitals and it was supervised by a doctor with 30 years of experience and it cost me as a foreigner 400 euros. I had the same procedure done a second time in the USA and it was supervised by a tech with less than a year on the job and the bill was over $10,400.
Tell me how good businesses are at ripping off customers and I will agree. Tell me about how efficient they are then I will ask you about healthcare, private charter schools, privately operated water treatment plants, garbage collection, and military operations where it ALWAYS costs more.
Compare the 200 MPH trains and lightrail in Europe with the freeway system in the USA. I can go 400 miles in 2 hours and pay $40. In the US with the privately owned railroads like the one in California it takes 12 hours to go 400 miles and the train only runs one time each day as the railroad makes more money hauling freight. No matter that the railroads were built with federal dollars, corporate profit is more important than the well being of its people in this country.
