Small government is just code for less power in the hands of the people.
Removing the profit margin can make entire industries more efficient. For examples of markets being run less efficient for-profit ses Medicine. Education. Law. For examples of markets that operate effectively being non-profit see the Postal service, Fire services
The argument against M4A is it would cost too much. LOLOLOLOL. Insurance is literally the one modal of business thats designed to be cheaper the more scaled up it goes. It’s begging for monopoly.
Which is why insurance shouldn’t be privatized at all. It should all be wrapped into one, and then we wouldn’t have any free riders gaming the system.
At some point, fairness has to enter the conversation. I’m aware it’s essentially absent within our judicial suppression system. Id advocate that needs complete overhauling as well.
There are absolutely things that should be privatized, and things that should nationalized.
Any essential service, power/water/sewage/postal, should be nationalized, internet and telephone services can be argued should be nationalized, but I don’t know how well that would work with trust going down while censorship goes up.
Pharmacies should be semi private, privately run, but required to handle prescriptions and be connected to the national pharamacy database with inventory information for all othet pharamacies so they can point the customer to the best alternate pharmacy with the medicine in stock.
Railroads should be owned by the government, operators will then pay for access to use them, government deals with repairs and central scheduling, operators send in requests to run a train, the government schedules it, with minor changes to the requested time, or sends it back with a reason why they can’t approve the request.
Public transport is run by the local city, it can be run at a loss, since the added income of tax revenue from more people getting jobs and businesses get more customers. Add to this a reduced wear and tear on roads, and less pollution, increasing health, reducing loss of income from sickness.
Healthcare should not be private, and can be cheap/tax funded, a healthy population is a happy population, a happy population is a productive population, a productive population earns more money and can pay more taxes.
Schools can be private, but they can’t charge an admission fee or require any payment from students, they get government grants for every student, same as public schools, but they can specialize in certain subjects. Educated workers are an investment for the government and will be a good resource for the future.
