Services, such as healthcare, public infrastructure, public transport, energy etc should be run by the state. There is always a conflict of interest when companies run these things because they care about profit / shareholder return more than they care about the people.

Now, the fact that the state is often corrupt is another problem that should also be fixed but i just don’t buy the argument that companies should run public services because they’re more efficient.

The UK is suffering badly with this. I’m old enough to remember how badly some state run things were but i still believe that it was then due to underinvestment as it is with healthcare now.
