They're "failing" just as much as private health insurance is "succeeding".

Just leave the USPS as is and do the incremental fixes required to make them break even. No need for them to make a profit.

If that's true, then private health insurance is indeed succeeding spectacularly! I don't think that's what you mean though. But if the money alone is the judge, losing $230 billion over 10 years is very serious failure if you ask me. I'm curious what incremental changes could change the failure faster than giving private companies a shot to see what they come up with.
