It is sad that this still works. We need to educate the public on this kind of shit.

  • Step 1: Under fund the public sector
  • Step 2: Point out how "bad it is"
  • Step 3: Say look "the government can't run things well"
  • Step 4: Pay the private sector to do the job; at a higher rate than the public sector.
  • Step 5: Cry that there is not enough money. Go to step 1.

You missed the step where when surgeries go wrong in private, they are quickly shuffled to public at great expense with no concern at all
