Indeed, by turning such matters over to government, you can actually ensure that minor problems become big and intractable. Government makes decisions that it finances by taxes and imposes with its police power. That employment of force guarantees that somebody, if not everybody, will be unhappy. If they can't escape the system because they're forced into it, then they'll bicker and fight endless and often silly battles. This is yet another argument for keeping government confined to a few basic functions like defending life, liberty, and property.

If Washington nationalized the auto industry, we'd get the cars that bureaucrats wanted us to have. If you didn't like the quality or the color choice or the price, you could hope somebody runs for office and changes things from the inside. Politics is simply no way to run a kitchen or a car factory or a whole lot of other things. The health-care system Canadians endure suffers from socialization, which explains why hospital food is probably among the least of their concerns. According to a national poll, four out of five Canadians are unhappy with the health-care system and believe it has worsened noticeably in just the past five years.
