Government employees are paid by taxpayers, but private employees are paid by consumers. What's the diff, really? You're paying for goods and services whether you get them from a private company or the government.

We all agree that government wastes money but we all have our own pet government agencies that we like, maybe the police, maybe the land office that records your property title so you can sell it or pass it on to your children.

With respect to insurance, government employees don't have the option of not having it, but private employees do. That is one of the biggest reasons that people don't have coverage. They just don't want it. They have other things they'd rather do with their money, and they figure they don't get sick enough to make it worth their while.
