I favor democracy

[SHRED]

Ultimately the public sector and public programs are held accountable by activism and democracy.
If you don't like something City Hall is doing for instance you can attended the council meetings and voice and/or vote your concerns. That's democracy in action.

Apply this to any crucial program like health insurance for instance. The fact that people want to place their health access and coverage in the hands of profit motivated private insurance where we have no voice rather than a public health insurance which would ultimately be held accountable to our voice via democracy is mind boggling to me. Private means less public control yet that's where we are now.
