That's the clarification that I was looking for. I would urge caution in saying that we're past the worst of it regarding private spaceflight. We need Falcon 9 to go up without a hitch, and we need Dragon to work, repeatedly, and cheaply. THEN we'll be in a very good place, with, hopefully, flight rates for manned spaceflight like we saw in the days of Mercury and Gemini. Then we'll be able to say that we've never had it so good.

At the moment, private or otherwsie, it looks like Russia and China will be the only nations launching people for half a decade. In no way is that a healthy situation.
