Oh, Yeah. Hey. That's what we need. Maybe we can turn it into the the national health service in Canada. Then you can wait a year to get a gallon of gas.

Or the NHS in the UK. I had a BAD asthma attack over there. Spent hours in an ER waiting room; sent home. The Drs. had left and wouldn't be back until the next day. I came back the next day. After 5 hours of waiting I was seen and given some prescriptions.

When I got back to the US, I called my Dr. and told him what had happened. I was in his office 2 hours later to be checked because things had not completely cleared up. Left with prescriptions and some tests scheduled to see what was going on. I had had very mild asthma prior to this; something had changed. Now the task was to find out what and fix it if possible.

Is this what you're after?

How about: The guv acts as cops to prevent monopolies and collusion. Other than that, they stay out.
