Turns out that what happens in practice is corporations get chopped up for parts, and government usually does better.

Medicare for example is much more efficient than private health insurance.

The motivation for government employees is "because they care about doing the right thing". You should try it some time.

From working in government, “no, they don’t care about doing it the right way.” The people who get hired are, largely, the ones who will work for the lower salary paid, and plenty lack enough experience and/or capability to even do what they need to. At least in IT.
