Your claim was this:I think anyone who's worked with highways knows that private companies will cut corners wherever they can, in both design and construction. In fact anyone who's worked with any kind of construction knows that. And I was showing that the government is no better. They also cut corners when they can. The whole thread is about why Obama would want to turn to a government run health care system. For Obama to want to do that, it would mean that the federally run system would be better than the current private sector. If his spokesman can't even name countries that have good systems, much less better systems than those already in place, why would we assume that the government run system would be better, when we don't even have an example of a better run system according to Gibbs? And it's all well and good to prove that private enterprise may cut corners. There are good private companies, and there are bad ones. But how does that say that the government run system wouldn't be worse, and cut corners even worse (which they often do too - government done things certainly don't have a rep of always being done well or more economically, in fact the opposite is often true). And when things are government run, you often don't even have a choice of getting rid of a "bad private business", as the government is often the only game in town in government run enterprise. |
