@johnmcgrew:
Since my comment was on a lot of self-serving profiteering that gets excused as 'incompetence', how did you manage to infer that I would advocate giving *crooks*---who I differentiated from 'incompetents'---responsibility over even MORE of citizens' affairs?! You appear to be asking me to defend something I just came out AGAINST.
C- for comprehension, John; Ansu had just called U.S. politicians 'incompetents', and I supplied a more cynical motive than he did (greed) to explain our 'representatives'' failure to do much of anything save enrich themselves. That strikes me as 'successful avarice', not 'incompetent public service'...so I give up; why WOULD I want the U.S. government 'managing our healthcare'?
