I wonder if who owns it is a red herring, but routing out corruption and bad incentives is the key.

Government runs anything that regulation alone cant make safe.

Ukraine an interesting moment with the recent (as in less than 10 years ago) health reform. The change was not in the ownership regime, but in funding (preallicated fixed amount vs post payment for itemised coded services).

Once the incetives got changed, a lot of doctors opened up their own practices as PE. The government still foots the bill, but the corrupt middleman of the local variety got cut from the flow

    Could you expand on this?

What is the appropriate level of safety? Safety is a spectrum, not a binary condition. Privately owned commercial airlines operating under strict government regulation seem to be pretty safe.

  • Yes exactly, so keep the current model for that. What is safe enough depends on overton window to some extent.
