Insurance is a fundamentally flawed industry. There is an essential conflict inherent to the business that makes it a poor choice for people to rely upon when in the hands of private companies (and to some extent government as well).
The fundamental conflict is this: The way they make money is by not providing the service that they sell. They exist to pay claims made by people that have bought the insurance. However, the more claims that people make, the less money the company that sold it makes. So inherently they need to try and not pay out claims as much as possible. But if they aren't paying out claims then the reason that people got insurance in the first place is moot. I try to be in businesses where the more money a client makes, the more money I make. The more they use my service, the happier we both are. Insurance is the exact opposite of that. Keep that in mind when thinking about public versus private insurance and how the system ought to work.
