many of the major areas that are now privatized need to be owned and controlled by the people of the country.

It is interesting to note specifically in regard to health care that Obamacare has been a very big thing for the health care industry. In the area I live (fast-growing suburb of Houston) there are urgent cares literally going up on every corner. They know more people will be insured now so they are taking advantage by putting up more centers. They wouldn't do it if they didn't think they were going to make $$$ off it.
