This is a very anti-USA way of thinking because it doesn’t allow companies to extract profit.

Healthcare, education, roads, prisons, electricity, transit, all of it is designed in the USA so a company can extract profit.



This is hardly a charitable interpretation. The lack of competition provides for little incentive for improvement. Now, for prisons, I think for-profit prisons are quite problematic because the incentives are abjectly antithetical to justice.
