Socializing some industries will/can/do improve the economy and society.

1)A) Note: In my first post I provide sources comparing private vs. public prisons; they showed that not only were public prisons less costly, but they had higher wages for workers and better working conditions. Another note my sources are from independent studies, not studies done by CCA (which is a private prison firm). B) My opponent is making a claim that he has not supported with any evidence or even an explanation for that matter. This claim is, "Private industries allow greater management flexibility". My opponent has to at least explain why private prisons cause greater flexibility, and better yet if he has a source that shows this is true it would be helpful to post it. Also it would be a good idea for my opponent to show that this flexibility actually makes private prisons better than public ones. C) My opponent either has to refute/contradict my sources that show public prisons are more efficient; or show in some other way how the more expensive private prisons provide more benefits then the less expensive public prisons. 2)A) My opponent is making an incorrect conclusion. He concludes that because there is private health insurance, public health insurance is inefficient. Using that same logic we could conclude that because there is public health insurance, private health insurance is inefficient. The reason there is private health care in countries with socialized health systems is because they have socialized health care for care that is deemed necessary; they make it so that if you want health services such as boob jobs you have to get it through private insurance. B) My opponent listed a bunch of things he believes results in private insurance being better than public I will address each one in this section. -No queues: He is simply lying in this part. Private insurance dose in fact has wait times and when you include the fact that private insurance leaves out 15% of the population you find that private insurance has longer lines. http://www.openmedicine.ca... A better measure would be to measure how many people forgo health care for one reason or another that is related to the system. In America 37% of people forgo care while in Canada (has socialized health insurance) only 5% forego care. http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com... -Choice: Again my opponent is lying. With socialized insurance you can chose your own doctors etc. .-Private room: So according to my opponent maybe being treated next to someone of the opposite sex in a room filled with health professionals is somehow a bad thing. I ask him if it worth the extra 20-40% that private insurance costs? Unrestricted visiting hoursAgain my opponent is just making stuff up. Personal care:So according to my opponent training more doctors and medical professionals is a bad thing. He also makes more stuff up under a socialized system you'll have no different amount of time with your doctor then if the system was private. The rest of my opponents list on this is just more made up stuff that have no basis in reality. C) In my first post I posted several examples of public insurance that provides the same quality of benefits as private insurance only at a cost 20-40% less than the private insurance. My opponent cannot really address this given that the fact is that private insurance is more expensive with no extra benefits 3)A) My opponent is cherry picking. You can't pick out the data that you like and ignore the rest of the data. The data I posted compared ALL private for profit colleges against public universities, and that data shows that public universities are less expensive even though they provide a better education and better job prospects. All the evidence shows that public universities are far more efficient and better then the for profit college industry.
