Logically we should allow them to run healthcare for every citizen.

Already spend more per capita than any other developed nation.

This guy sucks. Yup he's right, it costs more for public parks. THis one is generally universally panned by those not in the administration. Basically this was mishandled because it was just put off. If they spend 6 months building it instead of 7 years even with union labor and so on they would have paid much less. There are costs associated with Public parks mainly that you deal with the interests of the public, but this was an extreme example that again pretty much no one outside of the administration thinks is a good thing.

Stossell has shown countless examples of stories just like this.
It's just government, as usual
And the US government spends over $1 trillion per year... And we wonder why costs are so high???
And without looking it up, I'd be willing to bet the US government spends more money on healthcare than any other country in the world
And our system sucks.
And the solution is to let them spend more and have more control.
LOL ok then

Our per capita public medical expenditures are the equivalent of Switzerland, so we could have potentially the same amount of coverage as the Swiss, but we don't and it's not because of government spending, if that was the case why wouldn't costs in Switzerland be higher?

In some examples yes, in others, no. I know in my town growing up they refurbed the Firehouse for much less than the firehouse was quoted by a private exec who insisted on the cost before the vote. What it comes down to is a number of things, in this case, NYC is a bureaucratic nightmare. And yes that is a great example of wasteful spending. But there's others that are push.

I take more issue with the design elements than the price-tag. If you're going to spend $2 million on a lavatory, hire a talented architect, make it nice.

My favorite part is when Stossell says "are all these meetings really neccessary?" And the bureaucrat enthusiastically says yes.

Then it would have cost $5M
I take most issue with the guy calling them "comfort stations." Not sure which NYC he works/lives in.
The next go around it would be $4.9 and they'd tout the savings during re-election season
