Unbelievably good getting stuff from point A to pont B and they go places privatized places don't go. they may not make any money and lose a ton, but they handle the mail 100 percent correctly in my opinion. I view mail as the stuff that needs to get from point A to point B. Others may take a different view of it. So that is fine. By my perspective, they do what they do quite well.

Absolutely government run health care. It would end up way cheaper in the long run. Medicare for all.

knowing how rampant fraud is with the current medicare/caid set up, i cringe to think what would happen if everyone were in such a system.

What do you think is "rampant"? What percentage of Medicare claims do you think are fraudulant? There's fraud, certainly, but I'd hardly describe it as "rampant". Medicare is an outstandingly cost-efficient and reliable insurance system. It's done very, very well. Adding multiple-millions of healthy, young individuals to it will only continue to bring costs down for everyone, while services - and payments to providers - can be expanded. And the jobs created will be massive. A win-win-win for everyone. And we can be just like other first world countries, instead of 27th and worse in health care quality and provisions.

Health care in the United States is our national embarrassment. Except for our Medicare system, which is outstanding and remarkably successful. Few receive health care in the US, and its the most expensive in the world, while not even in the top twenty in quality by any measurement. We can do better for ourselves.
