I'm absolutely NOT an anti-business hippy communist, but I don't want any of those essential services run by a private for-profit company.
Public health authorities are accountable to the government which is in turn held accountable to the voters. Private insurance providers are accountable to their board of directors and share holders.

No, I would rather trust my health care to the STATE government.
You know, the same government that runs the police and the fire department.
There is also a way to make private companies be accountable to a certain level as well. But Obama isn't interested in any of that.
