Yep same with education, and likely any profession honestly.
The more government gets involved, the more red tape, the more centralization, the more corruption, the more mission drift.
I'll add to that: it's not just government either. It's the fact that in healthcare and education people don't pay with their own money. Bring back consumer choice and the price mechanism back to healthcare and education and you will see it blossom.
Yes on all accounts.
My grandfather was born in a house where the doctor came to his house to deliver him. That type of healthcare used to be routine, then gov mandated insurance brought in "medical warehouses" (ie. hospitals) as desperate attempt to control price increases. That worked for awhile but stopped working about 20 years ago....and now if you go to a hospital for something routine the price starts at $15-20k and goes up to bankruptcy.

All of this is due to centralization of medical school accreditation and the exclusion of everything but allopathic medicine. There used to be a lot of different kinds of medical schools until the Rockefellers put Flexner up to making his report to centralize everything. Until then, doctors were like every other worker with their own business. They also lived and died by their reputation, which you cannot find on doctors, now. Back then, I guess everybody in town knew who the good doctors were and who the doctors to avoid were. In small towns, you can still find some of that information by word of mouth.

Those are some of the reforms necessary, but do you really thing the state will let education and medicine devolve back to the locals or the people themselves by going free-market? Education is the way you capture the population for your purposes, a la the Rockefellers or medicine, again, thanks to the Rockefellers and the communists. They are forms of control for the ELites over the plebes.
