None of that stuff would be possible without government. It's a statism run amok.

It's the same story every time. Something works relatively OK (US health care before 20 century big-gov), huge changes to incentive structure and overheads are introduced by statists ignoring higher order effects, everything goes downhill, statists blame capitalism.

Let me legally not have insurance, pay anyone in cash for my health care (no licensens and government enforced monopolies), and buy any medicine I'd like and opt out of this madness completely and let's compare with real capitalism.
