> It's a myth that the private sector is inherently more efficient than public sector.

Stating it, doesn't make it so. You've provided zero argument for your position. You haven't even provided a logic basis for your claim.

Healthcare systems across developed nations? Ok. Germany, Japan and Switzerland all have highly successful private segments to their healthcare systems. They're all as efficient, or more efficient, than comparable overwhelmingly public systems such as in France, Britain or Canada.



Your assertion is that profit motive leads to greater efficiency than any of the motives that drive government agencies.

Just because you state it doesn't make it so.

If you're honest with yourself, I think you can come up with some problems where a public agency would be more efficient/effective than a private company.


How do you define efficiency?

Germany, Switzerland have higher per capital costs than France Britain and Canada.

They've provided the same amount of logic basis and argument for their claim as you have for yours.
