Public Lethargy

I will grant that the present health care system is not perfect, but then what is. I am concerned that the government should not be in the healthcare business any more than in the automobile business or the chemical business.
I think the basic problem is that the American public is now on a fad of letting government do all the hard work, while they do all the relaxing. This lethargy has been shown historically to lead to the rise of a dictator, who then says to his subjects that they must get off their butts.
Government's role is to establish rules for a level playing field. They have already done this with antitrust laws. Government has been deficient in not enforcing such laws in just about all areas of our society.
