I've lived in cities where the city ran the utilities; they were generally way cheaper than the utilities from PG&E.

The USPS is obligated to deliver letters at the same cost to everyone in the country, and they do a pretty okay job at it -- I've certainly had horrid events from UPS and FedEx, and those guys get to just pass the crap delivery tasks off to USPS if they don't like it.

Lots of old people in the USofA seem to like their government run medical insurance, same with people in the VA system.

The Doge crew spent months looking for fraud waste and abuse and I don't see any big law enforcement results from all the fraud they found, and I don't see anyone crowing over all the waste they curtailed.

It's possible that the world's more complex than you imagine, and that sometimes people just do their jobs (IE the bureaucrats) and hard problems get solved.

Now, tell me again, what part of the health care system is UnitedHealth? What critical problem do they solve?
