Right, but those are things that generally (at least one time or another)


the private sector cannot do.

It's hard to imagine private sector defense, at least past what Blackwater does.

It's hard to imagine private roads, at least past the toll roads existing in the country's early years and the limited public/private road projects now taking place.

Health care insurance and health care provision are entirely different matters, At every governmental intervention, whether WWII-era wage and price controls, COPNs, DRGs, disaster has followed.

So, just at the outset, it's incumbent upon those proposing further government intervention to explain why, this time, government will get it right. Well, nobody did that with ObamaCare, and ObamaCare has proved itself to be a monumental screw-up built upon a tissue of lies (if you like your doctor you can keep him, if you like your plan you can keep it, your health care premiums will go down, yada yada yada).

Now that health care insurers are exiting the market. more tinkering will be proposed (without the explanation called for above) and more screw-ups will ensue.
