Our health care system certainly has its problems, including a large deficit. The private  sector serves all our needs  except health care and teaching. Its record is outstanding in always having the goods and services it says it will supply. I just cannot believe that it cannot do the same for teaching and health care. No one has tried it so far. The US is a special case as we know in most things. Further using the results of one country is hardly adequate to decide not to use it or not to use it.
