The logical end state of this belief is a civil war. I assume that in lieu of trying to change minds you're buying guns and ammo and trying to organize like minded people into a militia to protect your safety? Cause if not, I don&#x2

The largest single payer in the US is the Federal government. Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, the VA... The problem won't be fixed for the vast majority of expenditures because the government will need to perform the same function the FD
