4) Efficiency - The government is notoriously bad at everything it does.

Some things, like national defense and interstate commerce have to be

done at the federal level, even if it is horribly mismanaged. Healthcare is

not someplace you want the government involved. (just look how badly

the VA healthcare system and Medicare/Medicaid have been run.)

5) Budget Projections - In 1987, Congress projected that Medicaid - the

joint federal-state health care program for the poor - would make special

relief payments to hospitals of less than $1 billion in 1992. Actual cost:

$17 billion.

In 1967, long-run forecasts estimated that Medicare would cost about

$12 billion by 1990. In reality, it cost more than $98 billion that year.

Today it costs $500 billion.

These aren't rounding errors; these are order of magnitude errors created

because the government can't possibly run like a business. It is a terrible

mechanism for running business. There simply is no accountability. No

one got in trouble for grossly underestimating the cost of Medicare,

because the government isn't going to punish itself. It just keeps growing

and growing. .(from an ACA thread circa 2017).

Nearly 100% of US women who got abortions say it was the

'right decision' five years after undergoing the procedure,

study finds

Of course they are going to say that they don’t regret their decision. By

regretting it, they would be acknowledging that they killed their unborn child

rather than just disposed of some useless mass of cells. They should poll

the women who decided not to abort. The women who I have spoken to

that considered abortion but decided to keep their baby consider it the best

decision of their life because they love their child and can’t imagine life

without them
