    My reply to an objection at Rick Snyder For Michigan —
    ❝
    Just some things to think about …
    
    ...Questions that come to mind right off the bat are —
    
    Does the Public really maintain the same levels of accountability, oversight, and transparency that the public well-being requires once the responsibilities for public health are outsourced to a private profit corporation?
    
    Given all we know about human mendacity and perfidy in any sphere, what sort of safeguards should we trust more — the invisible hand of private profit governance or the visible hand of public service governance?
