You're hung up on the media message that trusting ''make more money regardless of the cost to others'' is always better than government services.
Not exactly following what you mean here. But in general, yes, the private sector almost always does a better job of providing goods and services than the government. The very simple reason being government has less incentive to insure quality or to efficiently manage costs. The same would be true of health care.
There is no evidence that's true. In fact, the evidence is contrary to that. The countries that are more competitive than we are all employ health care systems with heavy government involvement. Not surprising given the details of the health care market.
More competetive than we are, how? There is no economy closer to a free market in the world than ours. And let's not pretend, despite being government run, that other countries don't still have issues with their systems. France's government run system is billions in debt and we know the issues about the waits in Canada.
