The reality is our government does run things badly. Why then intrust them with something this important to run?

When why do we let them run national security and the army?

You said: Contracted security forces are better and cheeper then government ones (it's why the military contracts them).

OMG, the last thing anybody wants is a privately controlled military.

Why dont we let a private company or owner run the country?  I believe this is referred to as a dictatorship, but no one would be burdened with having to vote on election day.  Do you have any idea how much it costs to run an election?

I don't want a privately controlled military, it's why I accept the governments inefficiencies as a trade off for them running the military.

But the only reason we are even looking to the government to run healthcare, is the cost. As far as services, we are the best in the world.

Again, if cost is your only issue, why look to the least efficient organization in the world to help you control costs?
