the organizations went quickly from operating on a non-profit organization model, focused on high quality health care for controlled costs, to being for-profit organizations,

i remember. and something happened under reagan too, that intensified the trend to privatization.

i wish some knowledgable person would put together a timeline; it's my impression there's been a systematic march through all the state-regulated industries (phones, transports, etc) & professional groups & all the unionized sectors.
