The common arguments used in the discussion on healthcare are not well thought out, as the video at right shows well.
The notion that the government can run something well as far as a service is concerned is quite easy to debunk these days.
The cost of pensions and even salaries of public employees are now much more than in the private industry.
The bottom line is what is the major factor, and if it is not cost then why are we not putting all services under the government? In the end the arguments for or against must make sense.
