I could be wrong but I think doodab's politcal persuasions lean every so slightly to the left of centre

Originally posted by Old Greg View PostThere's a disconnect between your worldview and reality. Market competition should make a private health system more efficient than a public one. But in the real world laboratory - in healthcare - the US model suggests the opposite. I would suggest that the US health system is very good at delivering world class care to those who can afford it, but it is very bad at ensuring that the healthcare needs of the population are met, and at ensuring that costs are controlled for healthcare that is delivered.

It is what is happening. The general theme however is that these "enterprises" are monopolies which is a highly dangerous state of affairs. Extend this monopolisation to the energy providers the banks and the FMCG companies and we can see that society is reverting back to totalitarianism.

Originally posted by darmstadt View PostIs there really any difference now? With the proliferation of PFI and the secondment of private company employees working in the public sector and vice versa I think the lines are pretty much blurred. As it is, public sector services seem to be slowly being privatised, everyone knows about railways and power but there are such services like the government owned oil and gas pipelines or the defense procurement agencies or your court appointed lawyer or your prisons which are, or have been, privatised without much fanfare.
