Are you nuts? Government pays atleast 4x what the private sector does on projects, yet hardly ever gets better quality. What makes you think ealthcare would be any better?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but particularly in the health and medicine field, isn't this b/c Medicaid and Medicare programs throughout various states hold a policy of buying from the highest of the pharmeceutical company bidders...?

Were we to have a single-payer system, or socialized medicine, it would seem that this price jacking middle-man would be eliminated, no?
