How efficient and effective government services are when in monopolistic control was pointed out to me in glaring detail today, as I spent 3 hours obtaining a learners permit for my 16 year old son today.

I shudder to think what our health care system would look like under complete government control. Just about everyone visits a DMV in their lifetime, often more than once, and rarely are they run efficiently. Each time I visit, obvious process improvement methods could be put in place immediately at near zero costs, yet no one considers them. That's what average Americans fear when they hear "government run health care". They think, government run DMV, government run social security offices, and government run Passport processing.
