No one else could do it. Even if private corporations had any interest in helping those who can't make them rich, they don't have the massive amount of infrastructure to make it happen. But seriously, if you want government to be more effective at running the programs it takes on, stop handcuffing it. Get the private interests away from government. Get out the lobby money, get out the corporate campaign donations. Those massive 2000 page bills will shrink pretty quickly if they only need to tackle one issue. And then stop funneling money into the upper classes, where it does no one any good. Government is ineffective because we make it that way. Give it the means to accomplish the tasks we set it to, and it will be able to do them.
But it already does most things better than the private sector.
And for less money. Some people seem to think that transferring all health care insurance to the private sector is going to save them money, when in fact it will just make it more expensive for everyone by adding increased administration cost and profit.
It will only make health care even more expensive than it already is. I fail to see how this would be an improvement.
