Is Privatization Genuine Education Reform?

Try reading what people say rather than making up crap as you go.

Everyone makes crap. Its a people thing.

Oh no no lol
See, your forgetting atm that healthcare is privatized lol
If your talking about Medicare and Medicaid than sure, except were talking about only millions on those government funded programs versus hundreds of millions that are either without healthcare or on/have private insurance whether via benefits (through their company/corp/union) or not. And scrap them? Those programs in themselves are somewhat like 'universal healthcare'. Think of it like adding hundreds of millions of people to them instead. What I think your suggesting is scrapping the private sector, which in theory is what Obamacare was a step towards. Sadly, it was a step in the wrong direction lol oh the irony! Were how many trillions in debt now? Chinas inevitably saving the world by buying out all our bonds with other countries, er, rather Our debt. Were in trouble lol The worlds in trouble economically, and the least of our worries should be socialist programs, especially national healthcare, to which on a scale of the size of the U.S is not possible with this system so eagerly needing to be revamped. Oh prophesy..

I still don't see your logic here. I see no reason why we can't scrap all forms of healthcare and go with a single payer system. This would mean no separate Medicare or Medicaid etc... Everyone would be under one system. I haven't seen a good reason not to go single payer yet.

Japan?

"The top individual income tax rate has been raised to 40.8 percent, and the top corporate tax rate has been lowered to 25.5 percent. A fiscal surtax exists for the next three fiscal years, bringing the effective tax rate to 28.05 percent. Local and enterprise taxes can also raise rates significantly. The overall tax burden is 27.6 percent of GDP. Government spending is 42 percent of GDP, and public debt amounts to well over twice the size of the economy."

Ok.

Those tax numbers looked a lot like what America's numbers were back before Regan.
