You mentioned the IRS, A few years back the government published a "Tax Simplification Guide", and the guide itself was over 1,000 pages long. Do you really want all that complexity in health care?
Think about the Department of Motor Vehicles. The costs to support the department are enormous, and when was the last time you went to the DMV and didn't have to stand in line? If it can't handle things this simple, how can we expect the government to handle all the complex nuances of the medical system? If any private business failed year after year to achieve its objectives and satisfy its customers, it would go out of business or be passed up by competitors.

People, run the Gov and many of those people own Companies or have owned them. So if the Gov is screwed up in the way it runs, then everything they are attached to, which is everything is screwed up.....
The Gov does 'Run' a few things really good.. one is Hospitals AND Supply. The problem with the VA hospitals isn't the care, it's the facilities, from a major lack of funding for so long.
The problem with Mcare/caid crap is, the private sector is ripping them off by the billions. Creating a lack of funding, to properly keep over site on such a massive problem. This must be that example of "squeezing efficiency" out of the private sector you were talking about.
Speaking of squeezing efficiency: the bank collapses, wall street, auto industry, airline industry, housing industry... Maybe Google should run America?
What about the Companies the quote bloated numbers on contracts that make it so these budgets are forced so high?
With the Pentagon's 14billion dollar Bradley design project.. it's simple, not playing with Toys like that, you end up like Canada defense wise.
I have read my health care coverage contracts and papers, it's equally as clear as our tax code. When it favors them, it's clear - if it favors you, it's not so clear.
The only time in my life I have ever stood in line at the DMV is in Vegas when like, 100's of people are in the place and it was the fastest growing city in the World at that point. I have lived in 5 other states, I have never waited more than a few minutes - maybe 10, normally Fast Food takes longer.
My count is even.... Corps fuck is, Gov is fucking us... at least with the Gov, I can attempt to hold someone accountable. With a company, I'm simply canceled, forced to call India and fucked all in one tight package. Oh - and I get a fucking invoice too!
