Our governments do the best job of any governments in the world... and that's why we prosper. The reason it works better than others is that it is still - in relative terms - more limited than most other governments on the planet. People still have room to exercise private initiative. We prosper because we are still a - relatively - free people. "hate government movement" is a straw man. It is not a matter of hating it, but rather of keeping it from expanding into areas which are beyond it's core competencies. Of keeping it from usurping more powers than it is allowed by our Constitution. A good number of the functions you mentioned could be performed by a smaller government using private contractors who would do the work on a competitive basis. The way things stand, our government is drowning in its own regulations. How long has it been going on that Congressmen don't read the bills? This is a big and fundamental subject, and we could expand on it forever, which would not be... practical. I can see now that with views like yours it must indeed seem absurd that we still do not have a fully centralized healthcare system.
