I can't speak for other countries, but I've observed this one enough to understand this. Anything the government funds it feels the need to regulate. Anything the government regulates it turns into an unmanageable cluster fu*k. Take a glance at any government managed entity. It will be almost without exception extremely misfunded and completely underacheiving.

Public education - Gazzillions of dollars going into a program that manages to use every dime, yet can't seem to produce a decent wage for teachers, and is mandated by the government to set rules by the lowest denominator of the student population which forces every student to be guided by rules and policy that make it nearly impossible to perform the single duty the school is meant to perform.

Taxation - Set up intentionally to be confusing enough to ward off any mass critisism and is headed by a govt group that conducts themselves like common schoolyard bullies with the people who pay the taxes to support it.

Welfare - Set up as a temporary system of help and has spun so far out of control that instead of giving citizens a leg up, it has managed to produce generations of professional welfare recipients, taking away all human dignity of those who depend on it without needing it, and caused generations of children birthed for profit without the benefit of a loving family. Nearly 70% of black children in America are born without the benefit of a live-in father, and sadly in many cases without a devoted mother. So increases crime, and we have a nation with prisons literally bursting at the seams with black males who were raised without any daily example of manhood to latch to in the home. A recent study showed that when interviewed, less than 1% of imprisoned males held any fond thoughts of thier fathers, if they had knowledge of thier father at all. The welfare system is 100% to blame for this.

I could go on and on, but the point is simple. Do I want national healthcare regulated by this organization? I'm gonna go with no on that.

The government has a job. When it sticks to that it does OK. Every time it tries to handle things it wasn't designed to handle it becomes a harmful, bureaucratic nightmare, and nothing good can come from it.
