When a for-profit company pays for your {healthcare, education, prisons} the quality of that service will never be top priority. Profit will. Always.

One only needs to look at how high profits are in those sectors in the USA compared to other OECD countries, and then look at the quality of those services compared to other OECD countries.

Spolier: Americans pay the most, and get the worst.
