Has socialized health care failed because of bureaucratic bungling or because of outsourcing and "favors" given to "special interests".

I keep hearing about the failure of Medicare, Medicaid and VA - all alleged examples of socialized health care. Are they failing because of incompetent government or predatory business practices ?

If the failure was because of predatory business practices then these institutions cannot be considered "socialized medicine". They are examples of an implementation by those in government who sold out to their buddies....

We need a house cleaning.....
