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

Get the government all the way out of it and get rid of the tax breaks for employers and employees who pay premiums, and let the marketplace really rule.

While i'd agree, some oversight is needed. Notice i say oversight, not control. I'm 100% for capitalism, but not for unfettered capitalism, and basic oversight is needed. That doesn't mean tax breaks for this and that, mainly a watchdog and standards that aren't intrusive but prevent companies taking advantage of their insured.
However, that's how all government starts, then it gets vastly out of hand, like Obamacare, and needs to be fully dismantled and reigned in.
