There are people who are screaming this from every possible vantage point. “Get government out of health care!” “I don’t want government running ANY health insurance or health coverage!”
O.K. Fine! Here goes!
The government listens to the voices of these people and here is what government does.
Medicare A and B, as of 2:00 PM today, is now null and void. As of that time every single person who had this coverage MUST buy private insurance. Medicaid is also null and void as of 2:00 this afternoon. Anyone seeking benefits from this program are now expected to get an insurance policy and use those benefits.
The Military Health services are being sold to private corporations. Any and all military currently in the service and any veterans, as well as their families are now required to obtain private insurance at their own cost. Veterans Administration offices as well as all hospitals, clinics and other services are being closed at midnight.
All Federal employees are, as of midnight, no longer covered. This will include the F.B.I, C.I.A., F.D.A., and other federal agencies. Those who are employed by any federal agency are now expected to buy their own private health insurance on the open market.
Members of Congress, Members of the Senate, and all their staff and family members are NO LONGER covered by the group insurance plan, as of midnight tonight. This will include every staff employee, including those in the embassies around the world, their families, and all staff attached to the embassies, including security services and janitorial.
The federal government is also hereby mandated to enact the clearing of any other health care insurances covered by government, from State employees to local City and Town employees. This will require that all Fire, Police, and Emergency Services persons must now buy their own health coverage from insurance companies.
All hospitals, clinics, doctors, nurses and other personnel are now asked to find other employment, as their services are no longer required. The Federal government is putting all buildings up for sale in an auction format.
Get Government out of Health Care Services? This is what you are demanding, so this is what you get.

If the govt was to pull out of health care, it would mean the only hospitals around would be private. All staff associated with those hospitals would have to be employed by whoever owns the hospitals.
Also, if the govt is to have nothing to do with healthcare, who is going to make sure that the private owners do the right thing?
