I feel that while the basis for our economy should be capitalism there is no way to avoid using the government to deal with things that are needed by all that occur sporadically. We as individuals cannot have our own army, firehouse, hospital, school system, police etc. That is the stone age way and extremely inefficient. Doing these things collectively with benefits going to those needing it at the time is the best use of facilities. The private insurers do not do a better job and waste 30 cents of every dollar in the system. Giving this gift to the large corporate parasites is just another welfare for the rich and we, the suckers, get ripped again.
