I'm surprised and disappointed at you, Dun. The state of Nevada (not the US government) "tried" to run the Mustang ranch.
And you're ignoring the fact that our government already runs two very successful health insurance programs: TRICARE for active duty and retired military and MEDICARE for people over 65. Both of those consistently have satisfaction ratings from their customers much higher than most private insurance companies in the US.
I think it's because of those two government programs that medical costs aren't higher today than they are. They cover so many people that they're able to "set" the standard fees that many insurance companies use to pay claims. If it hadn't been for the Medicare Advantage programs put in place a few years ago, Medicare would be in much better financial shape. But they've eliminated several of those; hopefully, they'll cut them all out soon.

Carlos, I think that is because we the American People are getting real tired of being screwed and lied to by our own government.Carlos D.":5id76at0 said:There is a principal,that is a bar against all information,And which cannot help, but keep man in everlasting ignorance .

This would eliminate probably 10 layers of paper shufflers.............and excuse finders.
