RR: your basic knee jerk reaction is that the "government" is always bad, can't do anything right, is inefficient. Private run (meaning profits over people) does NOT function as well in areas where a bit of compassion and mercy and willingness to, just maybe, pick human beings as the bottom line. Granted, there is a lot of waste in many governmental programs. However, and I suggest this emphatically, to believe that mega for profits trump governmental programs across the board is akin to a foolishness I do not wish to believe you possess.
