They underfunded it until the service deteriorated then promised that handing it over to corporations to be run for profit would somehow, magically improve the service. Anyway, anyone remember the MRSA outbreaks? How the private companies brought in to clean the hospitals cut corners that ended in the deaths of people who had gone in for routine operations - because the hospitals were filthy? Or how British Rail had to be brought back into public hands because they weren't maintain the tracks and trains were derailing on a regular basis killing and injuring people? Yeah, privatisation is great, huh? The profit motive is in no way a perverse incentive.

Well that worked well. Just like water companies.
Look how crap and expensive it was under British Rail. It's at least better now.
