Something is wrong. Virtually all our goods and services are provided by the private sector. Lots of choice, over a great range of cost. The one example of health care in the private sector shows high cost. Why? And poor results. The high cost In the US can be explained by many people with money and lots of high tech equipment. The poor results are due in part to about 15% of Americans not having health insurance. 

The typical American would not experience the high cost per person of the complete system. They will have selected the care they could afford.
