<i>For example, we have a public health system, and while I paid something like $15000 last year in taxes (a big amount for us), my wife got pregnant, she's having problems ... and we've had to bribe a doctor to even speak to us, not to mention they demand big bribes for doing a clean caesarean section, and my wife needs it. The poor souls that don't have money for bribes simply get fucked.</i><p>How is that not the government?  If there weren't a public health system, there would be more doctors and they wouldn't be able to bribe you.  You could just go to someone else.
