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

---

Every other advanced country on Earth (and most developing countries) have single payer systems for health care. Instead of incurring costs in excess of 17% of GNP they're in the 8% - 12% range.

They also have longer life spans than the USA and lower infant mortality.

Yeah, the US Government is well known for getting a good deal for the American taxpayer. % of GDP will totally go down if they get involved.
