Just walk into any post office and ask yourself if that's the environment you'd like to find yourself in when you have to go to the doctor.

People don't want to hear this argument even though it is the best one out there. Can anyone name a major government program that runs well? And I mean well by quality and efficiency. All I get when I make this argument is "Well market forces aren't working and it's so broke that someone just needs to take it over" Nevermind that the government has empirically showed that it can't ever fix anything. They just make it worse usually.
