I wonder if they can go after those that implemented the changes for privatization?

It seems like these types of systems would be better to be under state control for the best interests of the citizens over the focus on profits for the few. I see a big difference between the two here that it seems like many Americans may not see this at all.

If anything this should have motivated many for changes to the system but I guess that's left for the courts to resolve through the threat of legal action.

It was never about helping residents.

It was always about making more money.
