Private care providers make a profit which is often siphoned out of the country.
Defenders of private provision argue that this surplus comes from more effective/efficient care organisation (and is a 'reward' for that work).
Opponents see this as a draining of much needed money out of the care system with no real care benefit to clients, making this just cash extraction.
I prefer the latter, given the frequent treatment scandals in the private sector!
