It's a huge myth. You should read the article about prisons costing more in Florida thanks to privatization. Our private health care system is why ours is the most expensive in the world, and doesn't even serve everyone. That's a fact. You can bitch and throw up smoke, but it's a fact that we pay much, much more for health care than any other country in the world. The WHO proved it in their studies; numerous universities have proved it. If you privatize all that shit on the list, you can be 100 percent guaranteed that either taxes will go up or deficit spending will go up, or a combination of the two.
