This is the main problem I see with American politics.

Too afraid to fully make something public, so we end up with a half baked public/private hybrid that is disastrous.

I think healthcare should be fully public or fully private. What we have now is a joke and leads to massively bloated healthcare costs.

Exact same with education. Thanks to government loans and subsidies tuition costs have exploded. Either make it public or private.

The public/private hybrid takes taxpayer money and enriches the private corporations offering near-monopoly services of poor quality.
