re: Why does Government even have to be in health care?

Many countries have WAY MORE government involvement in healthcare - yet still have much lower overall costs and similar or better outcomes.

And a higher tax rate, unemployment and lower GDP.

Look at Sweden, for instance. Their average income tax is ~57%. They also have a 25% VAT on many things. Their unemployment rate is still above 6% and their GDP is a fraction of ours (500B vs 18.5T).
