The US government is essentially the only game in town for military hardware and contracting, but I don't think anyone would hold up that procurement system as a model of efficiency.

In the world of health care, many developed countries have single-payer healthcare and the US pays twice as much for everything as all of them. If goverment-run health care is inefficient, why is our "free-er" system half as efficient?
