(excerpt..)
Most people looking to make big money are eager to disparage public systems as inefficient – wasteful – inferior.
Many of those people are in a position to starve the public systems of funding – thereby making them less functional and making the private options look more appealing.
But privatisation is not the solution; it is the problem.
Properly supported public systems serve more people in a more efficient and less costly way.
