Who do you think is more efficient in terms of utilizing resources, Amazon delivery or USPS, a private hospital vs a public one /VA? There is no reason what so ever to strive to cut waste, as bureaucrats know they'll be getting paid either way. So in all cases it's always "we need more money" at the taxpayers expense.

Not sure where this notion that government will deliver services in a more efficient ways come from. As the poster above said, there needs to be middle ground.

All the countries where governments deliver healthcare and it is significantly more efficient than the US system?

Canada is entirely private beyond the govt providing the funding with the exception of a few public hospitals (like the US many are privately owned non-profits, academic centers tend to be public).
